So you don't believe in God or that God has anything to do with the affairs of man or shouldn't be considered in anything
concerning your life or anyone else's life or the way we do things in our country.
If you are firm in this conviction, try an experiment just out of curiosity, to prove one thing. If there is no God, then I am a fool and
you are a brilliant person. Neither of us has really lost anything. We've just disagreed all these years to die and waste away in the
earth that we came from. However, if there is a God and I'm right, I have gained everything and will live an eternal life of bliss. You
have lost everything only to die an eternal death in pain and agony for an eternity. Are you willing to make that wager with your life?
Try my experiment. Go out alone on a cool night when the moon is out in any stage from crescent to full to a place where there is a
small field of cut grass surrounded by trees. Look at the stars and the moon. Look at the outline of the trees all around as they
touch the sky. List to the sound of the night creatures as they chirp and sing. Take notice that there are definite cycles of life all
around you. The trees take in carbon dioxide for survival and breath out the oxygen that man needs to survive. The animals and
humans of earth breath in the air that the trees breath out for survival and breath out the air that the trees breath in for survival. It is
a perfect cycle and harmony of life. Water leaves the ground as a vapor and becomes clouds in the sky which release the water
again in the form of rain. The moon is there to reflect light down to earth at night and cause the tides of the ocean to ebb and flow
differently. It also guards the earth against meteors that would otherwise smash us to bits. So many perfect cycles of life exist on
our earth and in our bodies that it seems that they are here by design. Ask yourself if this could have all happened by chance.
When you go to sleep at night, lay in your bed and try to imagine death. What will it feel like to die? Are you afraid? Do you try not
to think about it? Does the idea leave you so distraught that you stay away from the thought of it? If it does, try my experiment
again with this exception. Look up to the heavens and say, "I don't want to die." Then pray, "Lord prove yourself to me. Please
don't let me die in fear." No one else will be there. It will just be one on one. You and the Creator. If you have Jesus to look
forward to you need not fear death. He loves you and wants to be your best friend. Just ask Him. He has a place prepared for
you in heaven. All you have to do is claim it through Him. Christ is the Son of God Who came from heaven to earth to die for our
sins. He knew that we couldn't get into heaven in a sinful state. Everyone has committed sins. But, no matter how terrible those
sins are, Christ can forgive them. All you have to do is ask Him to forgive you and to make your heart new to begin a new life as
His friend. You can pray a prayer like this, "Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sins. Come into my heart and make it new." This tells
Him that you recognize that He is the one that can forgive your sins and that you need a change of heart. If you can do this, believe
in Him, and love others as He did you will never have to fear about what will happen to you when you die. Go to a Christian Church
and tell them what happened. He said that if you don't claim Him on earth, He won't claim you in heaven. If you would rather, you
can contact me via e-mail. We'll go through it together. You can also learn more by clicking the crucifiction icon in the top

Instead of studying the anti-Masonic books, which only teach the dilusional antipathy of Freemasonry, study the book that Masons
say is the "Rule and Guide" to their faith and practices. This book will tell you all you need to know about anything. This book is
the book that we have to open on our altar before we open our Lodges. This book will tell you how to live a life worth living and
how to live it more abundantly. This book contains the only way to eternal life. It's the Holy Bible. (We prefer the King James
version.) A good place to start is the book of John. It tells the greatest story ever told about the greatest man that ever lived on
earth - Jesus Christ.
As far as Freemasonry is concerned, what is wrong with helping people? What is wrong with trying to do the right thing?
Freemasonry is the most charitable organization in the world spending over $2 million a day on charity. It will heal the sick, clothe
the naked, feed the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless with no assistance from your government or your taxes. It will do this
for anyone regardless of race, color, creed, or affiliation. That means that we don't care who you are or whether or not you agree
with our organization, we will help you. You can hate us and be our biggest enemy and we will still help you. And the best part is,
it won't cost you a thing. We'll do it for free. Only a real foolish person would fight against something like that.
