So you are saying the Washington, Franklin, Handcock.......Were really very evil men?
Well they were Masons. Not Shriner. There are serious questions about the spiritual beliefs of the Masonic club but that has more to do with their salvation than their conduct at least in the Masons. Masons are great disciplined men who work hard and have strict moral standards, That doesn’t mean they didn’t or don’t go to Hades for not accepting that Jesus died for their sins, in my view. But that is just me.
