"I'm still trying to figure out why these people are so afraid

It has been my experience that the most vociferous opponents are former Masons that have failed or from those who couldn't cut the mustard to become one.

Those that can't belong, have always reacted negatively to the organization in question.

I'm sure you are correct. I never thought about that part of it before. But then,there are the sackcloth and ashes religious,who feel that it is somehow incumbent upon them to go off on some bizarre religious crusade and call down the wrath of GOD on Masons,who are probably far closer to what GOD demands of us,than they are.Unfortunately,on this thread,we have a poster who combines both of these positions.
