Well, considering Freemasonry doesn't recruit, the only way to join is if you ask to join. Nobody's going to seek you out and invite you... you have to come to us.

I kinda wish I had of now.

Freemasonry represents the "Builders" who reject the Chief Cornerstone. This is a simple concept.
It is wrong.
Nowhere in Freemasonry do we say or teach anything about rejecting a 'Chief Cornerstone'. In fact, even the concept 'Chief Cornerstone' does not appear in Freemasonry.
Where did you get this? It is absolutely wrong. And, if your premise is wrong, logically, your whole argument must be wrong.
In Revelation, the harlot that is destroyed is called Mystery Babylon. The true name should be Mystery School Babylon.
Strange that if the Bible intended a certain meaning, that it didn't just say what it meant.
When Babylon was destroyed by God, Osiris was cut into pieces.
One God cut in to pieces by another. Doesn't this conflict with the teaching of the Bible that there is only one God?

Church Membership is free? Who are you kidding? What about tithes? I went to church 5 years ago with my then girlfriend who was Catholic and had been nagging me to go.
A plate came around three times, once for the Father, once for the son and once for the holy ghost.
I went to put in a note and my girlfriends Mother said just put in some change they'll be back two more times.
That is not free. I feel for the people who believe blindly that you need to pay money in order to get into heaven.
My Mother is Catholic and did her holy communion, the whole box and dice.
She told me in those days her Father gave up 10% of his wage to the church as a tithe.
Mate the church aint free and continues to blackmail its worshippers into believing they're going to heaven because they're paying their way in.
Be a good person and do unto others etc. Is all you should ever need to do.

- That the freest people are those who can worship in any way they choose (or no way at all, for atheists).
- That the best way to do good is to do so where possible in secret, not because you are ashamed of your good works but so that you know you do good things because its the right thing to do instead of for outward praise or recognition.
- That the highest of human virtues is tolerance for all.
... I have no problem giving a black ball any applicant who thinks ...
One of the primary requirements is that a man must believe in the existence of A Supreme Being. Furthermore, Freemasonry requires a Mason to believe that there is but one God.

You are not a Freemason and have never learned anything from freemasonry. Don't pretend to be something you are not. God will smite you if you do. It's in the Bible.

Actually Israel belonged to Esau, but Jacob was such an immature wanker who wouldn't let it go, and fought with him about it...What's your point?

I am more of a student of Freemasonry than any Mason I know locally. As for ATS, I can say the same.
