I don't think I could have a constructive conversation about Balphomet. My side would go much like it already has. It would start with "Bwahahahah", and end with me wiping the tears out of my eye from laughter.

One group even has permission to meet at Rosslyn Chapel. There was a thread a while back where some of that information was presented. I don't know how much stock I would put into a secretive group with a website, but who knows.
If I find that thread, I will link it.

The Templars in Germany also weren't prosecuted too much. One particular instance was that a group of Templars showed up to trial in full armor, their presence was such that they were "miraculously" found not guilty.

Oh wait. You were serious? "Philip the Fair" was Hitler, 600 years earlier. He expelled the Jews, taking all their money… He taxed the catholic monks 50% of their anual income. He was a greedy bastard that didn't give a flying # about his people.

Arnold Aimery, the Papal Legate at the siege of Beziers, ordered his men: "Show mercy neither to order, nor to age, nor to sex....Cathar or Catholic, Kill them all... God will know his own....". Catharism finally vanished from the stage of history by the end of the 14th century. But, since the final, fateful siege of Monsegur in 1244, the Cathars, and their memory, continue to fascinate many people today.

Well if you look at what happened to the Cathars in France you would very quickly have the answer to that question.
