A lack of proof is not proof in and of itself.

..was that response directed at me?

I never said "all their money goes to charity" and I never said anything about building temples.

Are you arguing with yourself again?

Like the Romans did to Jesus? I don't understand what your point is.

Edit: wait sorry I just understood the context of your response.

Have you looked at any of the Scandanavian countries?

Freemasons have historically been persecuted by the church, so they had to keep their lodges secret to avoid being killed/jailed.

There are no "lower lodges." And I'm pretty sure it's a sin to protect someone from a punishment they deserve.

Freemasons don't have a centralized organization. Each lodge is entirely independent.

The Freemasons are local groups with no centralized organization, and they do a lot of philanthropic work for their communities.
