[QUOTE="Pavel Mosko, post: 76293480, member: 391518"] Well in my old Lutheran denomination (which seems to be the attitude of other places like the Coptic church) 1) It was considered like having a separate parallel religion that is at odds with Christianity. And that kind of thing I think was made more serious on how into the lodges previous generations were much more into them than their church, and often adopting their beliefs, especially the Shriners folks. 2) There is a Lutheran belief that dates back to Irenaeus, where the Church Father warned against praying with heretics etc. That when you do that share in their belief, because you are one body etc. and it even reminds me of saint Paul warning against greeting apostate people (Don't do that because the greeting can look like condoning whatever bad behavior or heresy they are into). My old Missouri synod church was really strong on that, like the ultra conservative pastor didn't want you even praying with your relatives during the holidays etc. unless they were the same Lutheran etc. While it came up with the Wisconsin synod but they were much more moderate in their pastoral advice.
