There's just a few things in there that you're like, oh, wait, what? Honestly, I think that the Trinitarian difference is not quite as stark as the afterlife difference between Mormonism and Christianity.

Oh, well, this is a one-two punch for the people who get mad at me for... being a rather liberal Christian about what's considered Christianity. Uh, yeah, I mean, I, I would say, see how it, uh, squares with, with your faith, your chosen sect. If you are a Christian, some of them are an absolute no on it. Uh, others are sometimes pro Mason. Some are anti Mason. Some are neutral. Um, but,

personally i have found masonry to be a good experience i it has given me a an additional community that i can lean on and it is something that should i choose to stick with it over the years obviously if i decide to join the orthodox church i can't remain a mason um but really yeah why uh it's banned it's not allowed For what reason, are you able to say?

I mean, in my opinion, it's the same misconception that Catholics have. The Orthodoxy only banned it recently, like the 50s. I mean, recently in the grand scheme of things. The way I have seen it over and over again is that it's not those first three degrees. that anybody really has a problem with. I mean, the Catholics did because it wasn't Catholic and you know, God forbid. Yeah.

I, that was the 1700s though. Most of what I see when it comes to Freemasonry is that there is this understanding outside of Masonry that Albert Pike matters and, Whereas if you ask the average Freemason, especially those from north of the Mason-Dixon line, they don't care what Albert Pike thinks. What he said doesn't matter.

And if you ask Masons outside of the United States, particularly in England and Scotland, they'll be like, who? What are you talking about? Who's out what? Yeah. I've seen some interesting stuff. An Orthodox Christian told me that the Templars have the same weird stuff as the... the Scottish right, the Southern jurisdiction of the Scottish right does then French Masonry is just nonsense.

It's not even Freemasonry. Um, and I'd argue anything that's derived from French Masonry has the same inherent flaws. If you're wondering why he has these opinions, watch our video on Freemasonry. Yes. Um, we have the video on Freemasonry. I myself am a fourth degree mark master Mason. Um, I, at this point, There are things I don't like and things that I like.

Freemasonry. The first three degrees, great. They're... what came about when the order was explicitly Christian. There is no way to look at them and see them as anti-Christian. There is nothing that is conflicted with my values. And everything that I did go through to attain that degree, that third degree, and even the fourth one, was, in my opinion, good.

I don't think that... I mean, there was nothing that was contradictory to my faith. There was nothing that was contradictory to my morality. It was just about being a better man. And so that side of Freemasonry is what I really like. I think that holding the entire organization accountable to the beliefs of a specific sect is kind of silly. It's kind of like saying, you know...

All Christians are like culty because of Jehovah's Witnesses. It doesn't make sense. But, you know, I'm not dogmatic. I'm not the kind of person who's going to go through it and, you know, ignore stuff if I don't like it. I'm also not the kind of person who is going to believe things if I find no evidence of them. So I plan to become a Templar.
