Watcher wrote: And I suppose you didn't bother looking at the links I posted? A list of Masons doesn't prove the assertion. That some of the Founders were members doesn't logically imply their beliefs were wholly derived from it. Besides, many were also church members, like Washington. Why not give that at least as much credit? |

Watcher wrote: The fact that America and Canada were founded on a lot Masonic philosophy, reflects on who we are as a society. What philosophy? Give details (chapter and verse) and show how this affected concepts in our founding documents. |

Watcher wrote: Yep. You're bang on with that one Jim. Most if not all of America's leaders were or are high-ranking Masons. I so, then what difference did that make? I say none; almost everyone who was educated in the 18th Century, including devout Puritans, was fed a rich diet of classical history in Grammar School, which has many examples of and discussion about Tyrannies, Monarchies, Democracies, and Republics, raw material for the Federalist Paper debates. |

Jim Lincoln wrote: We may not have a Christian worldview, but at least we had a unique and pretty good idea of a democratic worldview. Nonsense: The "voice of the people" is not always right. The whole point of our Constitutional system, which is lost on many and being subverted now, is not "democracy," but to balance the interests of the Many and the Few, in the hope of avoiding tyranny. But even this fails absent public virtue, as Montesquieu observed, and we are now reaping what has been sown in lawlessness since the '60s at least. |
