I guess you could change your name to "Worthless, forged, and thoroughly debunked prophecies of St. Malachy Guy" but it doesn't have as nice a ring to it.

:doh:

Just wanted to peek in quickly and give jinc props. We see all sorts of attitudes from those who don't self-identify as liberal Christians. Thank you for asking questions because you honestly want to hear our answers, and for stating your stances sincerely and respectfully. In a world where...

I'm in complete agreement, Bro.:

While I haven't read any official government description of the Great Seal that uses the term "capstone" (I have not researched this thoroughly), a Google search of "great seal capstone" shows that many people are using that term when discussing the Seal.

The evidence strongly suggests that there is no connection between the Great Seal and Freemasonry. A Masonic source: Eye in the Pyramid From a neutral website: Is the Pyramid & Eye a Masonic Symbol on the Great Seal and Dollar Bill? This is one of those myths that just feels right to...

One of the things I love about being in the philosophy section is that much of the readership here are well aware of rhetorical devices and logical fallacies. To my non-masonic friends, have you noticed the anti-masons in this thread insulting masons and then playing the martyr/persecution card...

Duane, I don't understand the anger at my posting of the SBC link. I thought fighting supposed heresy was your thing? Maybe there is something infuriating about accusing good men of evil based on an interpretation of scripture that is not universal. All I can say is welcome to our world .

Skip, as you know, thorough explanations of the mistakes of anti-masons can be found all over the internet. I have no desire to endlessly rehash arguments with you. I know you'll count this as scoring points in the ridiculous game you're playing. You have my blessing! So since you're going to...

Search long enough on the internet, and you'll find screeds against just about anything. Well written as to grammar and syntax though they may be, they are riddled with misconceptions. Here's one I found after a very quick search: Why I Left the Southern Baptist Convention To use Skip's...

The biggest error being committed among anti-Masons in discussions like this is an error common to ChristianForums in general. Nearly everyone here who posts as a Christian believes that they are in the correct denomination or sect and that those who disagree with them are wrong. They cannot...

CabVet, there are flavors of Masonry that do not have a belief requirement to join. The Grand Orient of France, the largest Masonic body in that country, has no religious requirement. While Grand Lodges in the US don't recognize those orders, they do exist. Some of the best men I've ever had...

I know this was intended as an insult, but it may be quite possibly your best contribution to this thread. Freemasonry is not Christianity, nor did it ever claim to be. Likewise, Coca-Cola, Corvettes, a hug from a friend, and an evening with family are not Christianity. They are all things a...

Always delighted to point you toward the truth: Here's your link.

Masonry discussions now belong in the Philosophy section, as the CF staff have ruled that Masonry is no longer to be considered an Unorthodox Christian topic.

He was against the entire practice of Marian devotion before his conversion to Catholicism. However, what I'm specifically speaking of are his objections to the common piety among his fellow Catholics after his conversion.

I have no horse in this race, but I note with interest the problems that Cardinal Newman had with Marian piety. ‘Does devotion to Our Lady ever go too far? Newman on Marian piety in the Letter to Pusey (1866)’ | Robert Andrews - Academia.edu

For instance, not too long ago, I asked for feedback in this section on a proposal I was going to send to the staff. The thread was locked and promptly deleted. I was directed to take my concerns directly to member services (which was the goal, but when attempting to represent the will of the...

I'm about to start that one as well.
