If you come away believing Freemasonry is meaningful for Christians in any way after reading Morals and Dogma, you're the one who's either mistaken or willfully ignorant.
First off much of Morals and Dogma is severely misread or misunderstood because those people reading only have half the picture i.e. they arent masons. Someone here even once posted excerpts from it on here because it mentioned Lucifer and had they read all of what they posted they would have found that Pike was asking the question how Lucifer could be called a light bringer when he is the prince of darkness. He goes on to say because he brings a false light that deceives.
In addition to this not an official masonic document. It is Albert Pikes personal digestions and his own personal thoughts. In terms of it defining what masonry is or what it means, it is as valid as if i were to write down my feelings on the matter. There are many things i disagree with in many books written by mason because like like there are many different types of people in masonry. But there a plenty of really good Christian men at my lodge and nothing has ever conflicted with my faith.
And that totally explains why BLM did not dare to touch Albert Pike's statue in Washington, D.C. yet had no problems taking down Lincoln's...

Poppycock. Unless you're a Sovereign Grand Commander, there's no comparison.
Just like Muslims, Masons are ordered to lie to the masses. Therefore, nothing you say about Freemasonry can ever be trusted by critical thinkers without independent verification.
They didnt take down Pikes probably because BLM doesnt even know who he is. Most average people dont either.
I have never been ordered to lie nor have i been ordered to do anything lol. And what youve written shows how much you know about masonry. Being of a high office does not make you of greater knowledge within masonry only greater responsibility in visiting lodges etc. In other words theres not separate ritual or revelations for being elected to office. And i know this because i have also been elected to higher offices within my lodge. You can think what you want and ill grant you that it is WAY more interesting to believe there some nefarious conspiracy but unfortunately the truth is way less interesting.
The only way youll get independent verification is by having someone join masonry. I have. I am trying to tell you the truth about it not innuendo and lies that float around about it. I am not your enemy brother. But like i said believe whatever you want. It doesnt affect the truth that you are decieved and wrong about it.
There's two separate doctrines in the lodges. If you think you know all about it because you joined and there's nothing wrong with it, they identified you as a rube and gave you the sanitized version.
Some local chapters will contain nothing but rubes, no doubt. They're there to fundraise for the Shriner's Hospitals and other "noble" causes, some of which are simply fronts for child trafficking.

Right.
