MASONS ARE NOT FANATICS
By Joseph F. Lopena, DGL
Some people will blindly accept the charges that Masons and Masonry are all part of some huge evil empire or anti-religious cabal – or at least wonder if there’s some merit to the accusations, particularly since they’re so widely spread around today in the media and on the internet. Indeed, sometimes people will follow their “leaders” blindly down paths of hate and animosity, without thinking on their own.
Over 900 followers of the ‘Reverend’ Jim Jones committed mass suicide in Guyana in 1978, the disciples of David Koresh willingly (perhaps) accepted death following their ‘prophet’, or people continue to donate to religious ‘missions’ despite their having been totally discredited as to motive.

But let’s try to look at this using common sense: Does it seem reasonable to think that some 3-5 million Masons of today have all misunderstood what Masonry was really all about? |
|
Is it conceivable that thousands of religious leaders and hundreds of thousands of devout religious followers have been ‘tricked’ into some kind of Satanic cult which encourages them to attend their own house of worship? |
|
Do you think there is some incredible knowledge held by the small handful of those who protest against Freemasonry, and often argue amongst themselves on various issues such as religion, that transcends the knowledge and intelligence of the millions of Masons during the past three hundred years? |
|
Could tens of millions of people over the past three hundred years – including leaders in all walks of religious, political, educational, and other fields – all have been so totally and completely wrong – while the small handful of those who have opposed Freemasonry during that same period be right? |
|
And finally – IF Masonry was so evil, why haven’t more people ‘defected’? Why isn’t Masonry more secretive? Why aren’t there more exposes? Why, oh, why? |
Have you examined the ‘sources’ of information for yourself or are you simply accepting the word of another? If you are listening to someone who is against Masonry, have you checked to see what other things they are against as well? (masonicinfo.com)
