“Sons Of The Desert” seems a more desirable group to me.

FYI some Baptist pastors I have known will discourage it as deviant. Depending on where they are it can be a tough row to hoe.

From the Southern Baptist Convention Website:
19. What is the SBC’s stance on “Freemasonry?”
The SBC passed a resolution in 1992 opposing membership and participation in organizations that contradict the Bible (http://www.sbc.net/resolutions/amResolution.asp?ID=328), but these resolutions are not binding upon local churches.
In its 1993 report, the SBC stated that there were aspects of Freemasonry that are incompatible with Christianity. The main conclusion of the report states:
We conclude that many tenets and teachings of Freemasonry are not compatible with Christianity or Southern Baptist doctrine.

The LCMS has long forbade membership in lodges. I know of one man back home who left the LCMS so he could become a Mason to further his political career.

For similar reasons. You have to believe in a god to be a Scout, but no mention of WHAT god.
The same goes for a lot of those wishy washy memorial services where you have a Christian pastor, Hindu priest, and a Imam all praying together.

Seems like “we’re all catholics now” on more and more issues.

Very good. In my misspent and profligate youth, when I thought I was reaching something (not yet ready to return to the Church), I entered the Blue Lodge, and eventually reached the heady 32nd degree in the Scottish Rite.
Then started working my way up the York Rite.
I was diverted away from Detroit by God and because of a certain Franciscan friar who was a saint sent by the same God to soften my heart of stone, I joined the KofC and eventually rejected the Freemasons.
I am forever in debt to the good padre and to Almighty God who placed him in my path.
