Hi Terry.

You have to be careful about information on the web.  I did find a few
websites that said he was a Mason, but I did not consider them credible.
The basis for their assertion was a hand signal they caught him giving
in a picture.  In my continued search, I found the Mason website.  I
considered that a credible source.

I noticed some controversy over Billy Graham supposedly being a 33rd
degree Mason.  They had witnesses, other Masons, who had supposedly seen
him in certain rituals, and numerous other evidences.  Finally, the
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association wrote them a letter, which not
only stated that Billy Graham had never been a Mason and had no
intention of being a Mason, but that Freemasonry was incompatible with
Christianity (or something to that effect).  Suddenly, all the websites
that claimed he was a Freemason started back-pedaling and removing the
claims from their websites.  I think there are still a few holdouts, but
most of them accept this new evidence as more credible than all the
fallacious circumstantial evidence they had collected before.  I suspect
that the same thing might have happened with George Bush.  Maybe George
set the record straight and those websites all fell.

The lesson is:  Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
Consider the source, consider the arguments, and have a skeptical mind.

Peace be with you.
