After your act is over, you will shout with the utmost joy that you have true brothers to help you in your journey through life.<br /><br /><br />Supposedly we're trying to take over the world as well. Gay couple in soap operas? Oh yes, it's a war on "true" christian values right?<br /><br />At best, for me, it's been the ultimate test of faith, for if I had none, this light that's so well revered, simply would not shine.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> oh really?https://www.blogger.com/profile/13831624448300461699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607997782014255741.post-37183131700323765862008-06-03T11:27:00.000-07:002008-06-03T11:27:00.000-07:00Great Blog Brother!It amazes me how and what peopl...Great Blog Brother!<BR/><BR/>It amazes me how and what people think about us. I believe that all Anti-Masons actually fear us. Not in the sense of being scared, but for our tolerance of religion and our system of morality. Granted we have issues (recognition, regularity..etc) but for the most part, we are tolerable to one another. <BR/>If you stop to think about it, just about every religion has a problem with another religion, and many wars have been fought because of religion. The religions that have a problem with each other, also has a problem with freemasonry. On the same token, facists have hated masons as well. One of the most evil men to have ever lived (Adolf Hitler) was against Freemasonry. If we were sooooo evil and wanted to rule the world, then surely would would have had Hitler as member!<BR/><BR/>How can a Fraternity of men cause so much hate and discontent, to even being hated by some of the most evil men in the world. Could it be that we actually stand for something that dosen't involve a Religious or Government igurehead? <BR/><BR/>Please...someone, anyone answer.SPHINX524https://www.blogger.com/profile/11600357503674087843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607997782014255741.post-7463413525096441672007-10-24T23:37:00.000-07:002007-10-24T23:37:00.000-07:00Humanity longs for certainties, and religions offe...Humanity longs for certainties, and religions offer them.<BR/>Therefore some people are wrapped in their own cocoon and fear everything which might tear it.<BR/>It is very difficult to make them reason because they should change their attitude in a radical manner.<BR/>Fear is a feeling, as such it is settled in the heart, not in the brain.<BR/>Even if some people are conscious of this, they refuse to change mind because they don't want to admit their mistakes.giovanni lombardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15179925654879157443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607997782014255741.post-34396607518353352352007-10-24T20:08:00.000-07:002007-10-24T20:08:00.000-07:00Well done again Brother Theron...its funny though....Well done again Brother Theron...its funny though...don't speak their name lest they appear and all.Cliff Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08225842898777528860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5607997782014255741.post-50437959304036929802007-10-24T12:42:00.000-07:002007-10-24T12:42:00.000-07:00Theron, Now you are resoting to cheap attacks?
