I have no control over the afterlife, I only have control over my current life.
The things that shape my spiritual being, and prepare it for whatever may come, are the things God has laid out for me.
even though I believe in Christ, the totality of the Faith has a bit of childishness to it. I'm not Pavlov's Dog,
I don't need a carrot and a stick to make me act right.
there is no Hell, except to cease to exist on a spiritual level.

This is just a 'get-out-of-jail-free-card' where people (especially athiests) cannot handle the thought of being accountable for all of the bad things that they have done in their lives.
I could be a Hitler tomorrow, massacre 7 billion people and not go to hell. I could nuke New York and laugh at all Americans saying 'ha ha, you can't get me'. Kill myself and 'get-away-with-murder'.
We believe in justice don't we. We have prisons for mortals. There are also prisons for all immortals.

And somehow you think that If Hitler was to repent and follow your advice, he would get a pass to heaven?
That is where your logic falls flat.
Thump away, but it's just finger exercise.

BTW, how does a man join any freemason club? Do they just walk in and fill out a questionaire?
No, the get out of hell free card is churches telling their members that they can do bad things but repent at the last minute and they'll be "saved".

If Jesus was a commanding officer, would he want you by his side if he knew you could easily disobey a direct order? No.

You are judging Hitler with what you have learnt as a human, not with YHWH's infinite wisdom.

I don't believe in prison for mortals either. If someone is a threat to society, and they are beyond reform, then prison makes no sense, we should just put them down. If they are not a threat, or if they can be reformed through therapy or training, then they don't belong in prison, they belong getting the help they need.

You misquoted me!
I said, "I don't believe God does things without a purpose."
You intentionally left off the first 3 words which changed the meaning. Are you a journalist for the MSM?
A couple of years ago I've been to some of his leasons, and what I hear was "crap". I got a free card to listening to him, but everyone who pay €50,= py €50,= to much. From my opinion, the man is full of demons, and he is not speaking, but they're speaking with his lips.

Why would anyone read it everyday? It is just like any other reference book. You skim it, scan it, ,you read it through once or twice, you go back and refer to it with questions, but why would you read it everyday? The words on the pages do not change from day to day no matter how magical you believe the book to me.
A Mason can be certain there is nothing in Masonry that conflicts with their Faith in Christ without reading the Bible everyday, because once one becomes a Mason, it is very clear that Masonry is not a religion, and has no teachings that would interfere with any religion (except for Atheism).
To an outsider, especially an outsider that believes any of the bunk from the internet, then it might seem difficult to realize, but the fact is, there is nothing in Masonry that could possibly conflict with any religion, and if any religious person did feel there was a conflict, there are at least a dozen specific opportunities to change their mind even before becoming a Master Mason, and one is free to walk away at any time they want even if it isn't a specifically designed spot where we ask for their assurance that they still want to continue.
