You believe things you’ve heard.
I personally attended a Masonic funeral and was struck by the fake religion service. The Masons arrived arrayed in their aprons. The leader held up an apron and went on and on about how exalted possession of that apron was, and that there was no higher honor in existence etc. That man talked about that apron as exclusive, and conferred upon Masons and that the possessor would climb the golden ladder and be met by shining faces. NOT.ONE.MENTION.OF.GOD or Christ throughout his detailed presentation, at a funeral. This is in keeping with the excerpts in my post.
Then a Christian pastor went to the lectern and essentially rebutted the Masonic service point by point because what they said was contrary to Christianity. Masons consistently and proudly replace God with being a Mason until they pivot abruptly and insist it's LIES! ALL LIES! I've read books, articles and listened to sermons, and actually participated as a speaker reciting the pseudo religious partriotic content and know a few Masons. My friends were in the part of the Masons for young women, and they went through all the formal services to become queen of the court. When I asked what it was about, they laughed and said 'dressing up and wearing formals.' They said it wasn't Christian or political, it was a social group. At the lower levels, it is a social group; at the top, it's Satanic.
That’s a story you tell, nothing more.
