Well, I became a Mason and they didn't run me away from my God. And by my God, I mean the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Most were good dudes from what I could tell. Though there were a handful of fags and a couple of Muzzies. Regardless, I did not find it to be of great value, nor did I find it to be sinister. They held a lot of meat-raffles, held charitable-events and attended a lot of funerals. I was a MM (Master Mason). And though a younger Mason, I was what many in Lodge would consider to be a model-Mason. I was encouraged to speak at Lodge and engage Apprentice Masons, often. And, I took it seriously. I studied it thoroughly and explored it's many degrees. (Though, perhaps not all.) You'd be surprised what you find online. After going through a few degrees, I realized I almost knew more about how the degree was supposed to go than those putting it on. So… The internet is your friend. The only secrets a Mason would be asked to keep would be certain modes of recognition, which would allow one to gain admittance to a Lodge. Not so sinister. If they are the bad guys, they sure don't know it… And although I find Freemasonry to be rather benign today, and not exciting or substantiative enough for me to really sink my teeth into, I'd never tell you those secrets either. Because why? Why would I go back on my word, because some people are curious and assumptive about things they don't know?
You know what I'd rather say to them?
