For me, that is so odd. My Father was a Mason and a Shriner. (he never drove one of those funny cars in parades, etc.)He was a good soul, and a Christian. My Grandfathers were Masons, their Fathers before them, etc. To the best of my knowledge, they never sacrificed children, ate them, wore robes or anything else that smacked of the devil or evil. They were community leaders, hard workers, decent men. Their friends were cut from the same cloth. I never knew any of these folks to do anything but try to help people. As a Shriner, my Father raised alot of money for their burn center. They worked to set up scholarships, paid hospital bills, etc., the list is endless. I'm not trying to change your mind or argue with you. It's just my life experience with Masons is worlds away from some of these statements I've read here.

I respect my opinion, but please understand that I have mine. I am well aware that Masons give out scholarships. One of my friends in high school recieved one and then returned it to the organization after he read their doctrine.

I meant, "your opinion" in the post above.

Your experience has been my experience with Masons as well.
