Re: [RR] Can a Christian be a Libertarian, Independent orDemocrat?

[Jonathan & Dawnya]

You must be a Mason, then, right?  Masons are a secret society, and as Christians we are to not hide in darkness.  Also, throughout many of the rites above the 3rd degree, Masons perform worship of an old Egyptian god.  Does that sound Christian to you?   I'll not say any more on this topic. *********************** Jonathan  Conti *********************** ----- Original Message ----- From: Les To: Jonathan & Dawnya Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 10:37 PM Subject: Re: [RR] Can a Christian be a Libertarian, Independent orDemocrat? Johnathan: To make such a sweeping indictment of freemasonry by saying "a person cannot be both a mason & a Christian" is an astonishing thing for a person claiming advanced education vis-a-vis "thesis research". I know bigotry when I see it. Rangernet is no place for it. No offense, but I have now placed your name in my filter file for deletion.
