Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I really don’t understand. I am not a Freemason, but my dad was and I knew many. I did go through the first initiation and decided I didn’t want to continue (just personal choice and didn’t want to commit time to it).

They espouse belief in a higher being (typically God, but no one asks). There are “secrets”, but these are covered in books you can get at a library. They basically do charity work and it’s a place to belong to - like a frat.

This ban screams ignorance.

Idk maybe you didn't finish enough degrees. Pretty sure when you hit degree 25 (Knight of the Brazen Serpent) is when they tell you about the lizard people being the true higher beings.
