Change of religion, for me that is.

[TitaniumRubber]

Well i was recently converted by some friends to religion called freemasonry and its pretty deep, i wondered if anyone elce on this forum is part of this religion because until i was invited into the lodge it seemed pretty normal, anyone share this religion with me?

[-Xiangu-]

what is it.

[Energizer]

no i am no religion.

[dirrty]

i dont think i will ever convert from christianity.

what is freemasonry about? like their beliefs etc.

edit;
Freemasonry explicitly and openly states that it is neither a religion nor a substitute for one. "There is no separate Masonic God", nor a separate proper name for a deity in any branch of Freemasonry

Whats the new religion?

Freemasonry isn't new. My uncle was a Mason. Basically it all stems from the Knights of the Templar. My uncle passed away and I read things that he was given, I can't repeat them though as I am not even allowed to know. The ranking system is extremely strict with Freemasonry, and the higher you get, the more secrets are revealed to you about Christianity. To be a Freemason, you have to say that you believe in a higher power, nothing specific, just that. It's a very secretive organisation, and those who reveal its secrets have turned up dead.

I know some things about Christianity that contradict common religious knowledge, but I can't say. I don't know anything earth shattering. According to my uncle, the real high ranking members of Freemasonry know about the Holy Grail, etc, and the key to Christianity, as well as a variety of other religions. It's extremely interesting. I am an atheist myself.

Why would you change your religion under the age of 18? I mean I know you have views etc but you cant actually make a big decision like that till your an adult. Personally, I won't ever change from Catholicism but thats my view.

Im open minded, this doesnt seem like something i'd like to join, i'll give it a look though.

[Misawa]

Basically the answer to Christianity and Catholicism, etc, lies at the top of the Masonic order. The "thing" in question which is believed to have been something that was discovered by the Knights of the Templar, was said to "shake the very foundations of the Church" if released publically. My guess is that it blows Jesus Christ out the window.

[Dan2nd]

Sounds quite interesting =] I'll always be a christian though

[BlueMoon]

Is it Free Masons? o.O!
Do they do a load of stuff for charity and meet like once a month in at a lodge and eat and drink and do speaches and wear suits and stuff? And do they have a special hand shake? o.O!
I well never knew it was a religion, I know someone who is in it. And isn't it made up of like mostly ex policeman, fireman, ambulance man and army people? o.O

[Misawa]

Yes, there is a unique handshake. My uncle taught me it.

Sounds like a misfit religion with as many contractions and issues like Christianity... It's both a religion and not a religion, both thinks of a higher, superior being and at the same time doesn't...

you just completely contradicted yourself
you say that under the age of 18 you can't make a decision like changing your religion, you need to be an adult. but you're what, 15? and you're saying that you won't ever change from catholicism?
:S your logic is beyond me.
