[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 680771, member: 1780"] Regarding Christianity and the Masons, I'm not sure and never really made the connection, but dad has been a mason since before I was born and I am currently 30 years old, and we didn't start going to church until I got my family to start going around when I was 12 or so. That doesn't mean that he couldn't profess to his masonic brethren that he believed in a form of God, we just didn't go to church any until I became interested in it through some of my friends. I wouldn't mind joining later in life when things slow down a bit for me, and seeing what it's about, the benefits and such (provided there really are worthy benefits). Has to be something to it, most Masons I know are really good people, lots are local politics or long time pillars of our small-ish community. Lots of law enforcement are Masons here too, so I'd imagine that'd be a benefit of being a member. I doubt one Mason would write another Mason a ticket. I've always heard if you ever fall on hard times, your Masonic brothers will take care of you. They do a lot of community work too, build wheelchair ramps and other random work for the elderly or people who need it. I've also always heard a Mason shakes hands differently too during a casual handshake. There's something very subtle that they do so that if two strangers meet and happen to shake hands, they immediately recognize each other as Masons. One of my buddy's left some sort of Masonic artifact in my truck one time when 3 of us went down to Gulf Shores for a weekend.
