@SatanistsAreEvil, appreciate your reply and respect your views. History is history, and while I’m not going to disagree that there are powers that control the global economy and who have a skewed control over the distribution/ownership of finances, I just take it for what it is, chiefly because I have no interest in politics and related. As an individual, my life is unaffected either way. May be considered narrow minded by some, but just like the Earth - regardless of its actual shape, will it change the time you get up in a morning and change how you go get to work or fly to your next holiday destination? Nope.
Freemasonry, whether the accepted terms is fraternity/cult/religion, is fine. Anything that brings a group of people together with a common belief and who live better lives for it is good with me as long as everybody is nice about it. I’m not religious, don’t believe in a supreme being or immortality of the soul. For me, those things push it from the realm of reality to the real of fantasy. Such subscribers will often tell everyone they are being lied to and to not believe everything you are told, a little bit like those who subscribe to the flat Earth theory. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely agree. Don’t always believe what you hear, do your own research, make your own observations and keep an open mind, just not so much that your brains fall out. It’s OK to question things you don’t understand, but not OK to outright dismiss things because of it.
Regarding flat Earth and your comments...
Why do you say gravity isn’t proven? I experience it every day, and if by unproven you mean “makes no sense to you”, fair enough, but then a flat Earth constantly accelerating upwards at 9.81m/s^2 with a dome over it holding in the atmosphere makes no sense to me, especially with no evidence for it, but that’s what other threads here are for otherwise every thread turns into the same discussion. Suffice to say, it’s all about scale and perspective. No, you can’t see the Earth curve when stood on the surface, it’s too big. It “looks flat”, but to conclude it must be flat because of that is absurd. Look up the Rainy Lake Experiment for objective evidence of the curvature, including explanations of how light behaves, refraction coefficients etc.
