I’m not a terribly religious man based upon sanctioned religion. The church doesn’t run my life, I do using christianity. But even I know that bearing false witness like blaming the Masons for something that had nothing to do with them is not the way of our Lord.

Deuteronomy 5:20:

“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.”

This protects our relationship with God because by seeking and bearing true witness to the truth, we can have a relationship with God.

So if your group is going to “take over” space on a public thread, fine. But if I read it and it is not true, and it is an insult to me, you are violating other rules in the thread that say attacking groups is not allowed. You might want to choose your topics a little better and make them a religious happening within the confines of your sacred volume rather than a public execution based upon not finding the truth first.

I'm not surprised to hear that coming from a professed freemason who defends freemasonry as if it were his own "religion", an evil one at that.

What exactly is the "false witness" you are alluding to?

The Masonic Altar

Inside the Masonic Lodge, there is an altar on which the Holy Bible is placed. The Masonic altar is a sign of communion with the Creator of the Universe. In the days of old, Masonic altars were a place for communion with the Master Architect of the Universe. They were used to sacrifice animals to God and seek atonement for the sins of man.

Even today, men continue to sacrifice different things for God and pray for forgiveness of sins before asking God for blessings.

Major religions like Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Shinto, Hinduism and Judaism have altars. The pagans also have altars. These altars are found in places of worship like churches, temples and shrines.

All these altars were considered sacred, and objects associated with these altars were also considered sacred. In the old days, priests had to wash their hands before touching the altars and performing altar-related duties.

The Masonic altar inside the Masonic Lodge represents the Altar of Incense that was in the Holiest of Holies in The Temple of Solomon.

It is likely that the cults of Mercury and Hermes (of which much remains in the Masonic tradition) also burned Frankincense.

Frankincense has a long and ubiquitous tradition with the mystery schools, and aside from its use in scrying, or prayer, or homage to the Great Architect, at the very least one has to admit that the sweet scent of Frankincense is a welcome treat for the scenes in the respite Freemasonry offers.

How can you claim to have a "relationship with God" while stating you're not "a terribly religious man"?

You masons worship a deity that is not the Holy Trinity. You're no more than pagans.
