It is my religion (An Céile Dé), and it has been for many years. I have learned a great deal, still do, and I am also a teacher.
It is also, partly, my living. I am an employee of The Grand Lodge of All England. I enjoy being a Free Mason, very much indeed.
I have travelled to many parts of...
This is quite ludicrous:
It is the easiest thing in the world to check to see if the Roman Catholic Church excommunicates their members who are freemasons.
See here, and please take the trouble to read it: Humanum Genus

This is the latest statement...
Oh I agree, there are, but in Israel, freemasonry is legal.
If any Muslim in an Israeli lodge visits an Islamic country, and he is known to be a freemason, especially an Israeli freemason, he will undoubtedly be arrested, and if he is lucky, merely beaten up or flogged and deported.
If he is...
This is but a partial list of those Churches and Faiths which have officially condemned, as a matter of policy and doctrine, Freemasonry per se, as being "a new Naturalistic Religion" incompatible with their beliefs and membership:
Islam
Roman Catholics
Anglicans
Methodists
Baptists

I am very sorry logician but I am totally confused by your posting. Would you please be kind enough to let us know what Masonic "services" that you have witnessed, and where?
Many thanks.
The Square and Compasses when placed together on top of the Holy Book represent the presence of God in a Masonic lodge or meeting.
The Holy Book is the word of God. By way of illustration, the Square and Compasses together, form the symbol that is also used on the Labarum or Chi Rho. It...
Just to assist the religious debate, this is but a partial list of those Churches and Faiths which have officially condemned, as a matter of policy and doctrine, Freemasonry per se, as being "a new Naturalistic Religion" incompatible with their beliefs:

Why?
Your Grand Lodge would not exist unless it was given a "Charter" by the Moderns United Grand Lodge of England, and your Book of Constitutions is their Anderson's Book of Constitutions. You work under their jurisdiction, The United Grand Lodge of England, as a subordinate Grand Lodge.
Of...
Who says? Of course it is.
DEFINITION - Religion: (a system of belief and worship) expressed through prayer and ritual.
Question 1) Does your freemasonry not use prayer, and ritual?
If it does (I believe it does), then it is a religion and limitless amounts of mental reservation cannot...
Yes I know, you are quite right, it was done before I realised. I will pray for forgiveness and try not to do it again, athough I believe I already have. Old age is definitely setting in. Thanks for the reminder.
I was responding to Mr Cheese's cheesy poem which was a dig at the Grand Lodge at York. "Here" referred to The Grand Lodge.
My apologies to any Christian who interpreted "here" to mean on this forum. It was not meant in that way.

No, you don't have a problem with "my lodge". You are just a member of the public with questions. And I have supplied the answers. Now, if you are just a member of the public and not a UGLE plant, you will go away and do some independent, unbiased honest research.
You see you have indulged...
He is YOUR friend. He is certainly not mine. You invited this person on to this thread, which if I recall correctly is my welcome thread to this non-Masonic forum.
You and he attacked me and our Grand Lodge with unfounded allegation and vicious innuendo, when you have neither the right or...
