I don’t think any Christians should be Masons...and I know that will bring on the whole hootin’ pro Mason fringe! I’m not saying that one is not a Christian if one has joined the Masons, just saying a Christian should honestly reflect then get out!

As a Mason, I listen to the opinions of others and try to understand so that I might apply their wisdom to my life in hopes of betterment. I do not see where the conflict between the Order and Religion as I hear the concerns of others. Masons do not seek to replace the Creator or even challenge the Creator for position. They do not counter the religious leanings of members, in fact they (in my Lodge) discourage religious discussion as it is their goal to include rather than draw lines.
The goal of Masonry is to make good men better and this is not dependent on their religious persuasions.

Okay, I reflected. Now get out!
