“Call it what you will, but Masonic “moral” teaching goes against Christian doctrine.”
So by your standards, Christians can’t be associated with or friends with any non-Christian, nor can they take moral advise, guidance, or help from any non-Christian?
The basic tenants of Masonry essentially call for one to check their religion and political persuasion at the door, as those subjects many times interfere with brotherhood, friendship, and cooperation - similar to what you demonstrate with your comments. If you want religion, go to church. Freemasonry is not a church - nor a religion. If you want honesty, charity, friendship, and brotherhood, one place you can find it is in Freemasonry (among other institutions if you prefer to find them elsewhere).
Methinks many have a problem with the Good Samaritan parable.
Christians and non-Christians in association openly agree to disagree on religion. Masonry disingenuously pretends there is no disagreement between its creed and Christianity.
