Remember the parable of the pearl of great price my friend. The pearl here is your love, the swine are the filthy material things of the world. Do not cast your love to the material things of the world for they will turn and rend you.
This is my interpretation. It seems more fitting with Christ's love for all than the traditional interpretation.

That's an interesting interpretation. However, in context, Christ was referring to the "mysteries of the Kingdom of God", i.e., the hidden wisdom of initiates, and the swine, in this case, were the Pharisees, whom he had already publicly condemned as "vipers".
It is true that Christ taught a message of love, but it is also true that he had no qualms in driving the moneychangers from the Temple.

Jesus Christ and Freemasonry It should be impossible for a high-level Freemason to deny that Jesus Christ is a profoundly important figure in the Masonic tradition. However, denial is very much incumbent on any Freemason privy to this information because it is one of the biggest secrets of Freemasonry. However I see no reason why the knowledge of Jesus's 'building work' should be the sole preserve, in perpetuity, of this unaccountable cabal of po-faced plutocrats. In early Christianity there were two parts of the Church, the exoteric Church and the esoteric Church (or Gnostic Church). The former was open to everyone, the latter was a form of mystery religion with secret rites and initiation ceremonies. The forebears of the modern exoteric Church tried to extirpate the esoteric part because it was an obstacle to their dream of global hegemony. However, it was the esoteric Church that was the original heart of Christianity and the exoteric Church was intended only as a sop to engage the simple masses. The Freemasons, at least in the higher and more esoteric degrees, believe themselves to be the heirs of gnostic Christianity.

"Every word crystallizes by means of the Tattvas; thus, this is how the present humanity has created its present life (disastrous and terrible): by means of the power of the word. This is why it was impossible for the "rooster" to be absent from the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. The rooster symbolizes the "word"...
"In high, esoteric Masonry, the laryngeal chakra is represented by the hidden degree of the "rooster."
"The rooster of the Passion sings when the Kundalini arrives at the "canyon" or vertebra related to the thyroid gland. All the power of the word resides in the sexual force of the rooster."
"Huiracocha stated:
“Whosoever knows, the word gives power to. No one has uttered it; no one will utter it, except the one who has the Word incarnated,” which means, the word can be uttered only by the one who already Self-realized the word in depth."

"No wonder that the Northern seer, Swedenborg, advises people to search for the LOST WORD among the hierophants of Tartary, China, and Thibet."

Now.....we constantly correct people by saying there is no such thing as 33rd degree in "Masonry" there are only 3 degrees in Masonry, everything else is appendent bodies. So, we can't switch now. The things you mention are not in the 3 degrees of Freemasonry, they are only in the two appendent bodies.

But even Jesus said "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's...", implying that we should follow the laws of the land.

I invite you to search beyond what you think you know of Freemasonry. It's painfully obvious that your sources of information are a bit jaded to say the least. Masonry has no agenda to remove religious beliefs, only to strengthen ones bond with their creator. Even if a fundamentalist site says different.
