Skull and Bones is a college fraternity ( well, not really, it is an "eating club", but oh what the hey...LOL ) and it is also *gasp* "secret". So are most fraternities and sororities.
The Elk, the Moose, et al are likewise "secret" fraternal organizations.
And none of what you posted has anything whatsoever to do with the topic of this ridiculous thread, BTW. That church is UGLY, but there are NO Masonic symbols in it. Trying to say otherwise, is just patently ridiculous and offensive to boot.
Wow, it seems like I've struck a nerve. You're right in a way, it's not a religion, because it's about naturalism.
The article at the beginning of the thread could be silly, but it lead to a real issue.
Really? What's this then?
And this?
If Freemasonry is not a secret society as you claim, why do Freemasons who are government officials, public corporation officers, or political figures refuse to disclose their membership?
