Freemasonry: Good Vs. Evil
Freemasonry is a secret organization that appears in communities, and is for men of any ethnicity or nationality. Many masonic bodies appear to believe in a higher being known as God, but in closer detail of this organization the higher your degree the more your belief in supreme beings expands(TheForbiddenKnowledge.come A lot of philosophers think that this organization has to worship both, God, and Satan. This whole essay is to provide claim and reasoning on both sides. A lot of people back-up these accusations of worshipping both higher beings.
While a Freemason you have to believe in more than one supreme being, supreme because not all religions refer to their worshipper as god such as Deists who uses the term supreme being to refer to “The Divine.” Members of Islam use the term supreme being to refer to as “Allah” which translated to english is “The God.” The religion of Sikhism use terms that translate to be supreme beings such as Waheguru or Ek Omkar meaning “One God.” The religion of Hinduism use supreme being to refer to Shiva. Lastly, Christians use the term supreme to represent God, which is commonly said amongst them.
In a masonic order your initiation is to become a mason is called “Seeking The Light” (TheForbiddenKnowledge.com) in which Satan is called the “Light Bearer” so philosophers take their accusation of calling masons devil worshippers by interpreting the connection of masonic terms to prove why they think Freemasonry is in fact an organization that worships Satan. Freemasonry along with many other organizations such as “The Bohemian Grove, The Illuminati, and Skull & Bones” are all groups along with the masonic body that are accused of worshipping satan, because of their belie...

...with is a Freemason, in which Freemasons are known to keep high positions in society which is not always true but mostly. This social issue can but does not affect Chicago, because Chicago does not have big controversial issues like around the world or in other parts of the U.S.
This argument needs to be proven either for or against because with people alleging the organization of can either bring them down or uprise them.

Another popular conspiracy theory contains the Illuminati society. The Order of the Illuminati was an Enlightenment-age secret society founded by university professor Adam Weishaupt on May 1, 1776, in Upper Bavaria, Germany. The movement consisted of advocates of freethought, secularism, liberalism, republicanism, and gender equality. In 1785, the order was infiltrated, broken up and suppressed by the government agents of Charles Theodore, However, there is no evidence that the Bavarian Illuminati survived its suppression in 1785 (“History of Beliefs”, 2006).

This may be true; however, I seem, too often, to see another side of this organization. In recent months and years, their agendas have been advanced only through the media and political outcries, not through the democratic process as they have stated. Maybe they employ the lesser known, but effective, democrat process.
...mixing pot of nationalities. It is ideal to people who are open minded, while Satanism is for people who are against following the natural order of things. They believe that a person can do anything they want without repercussions. It is a wrong and immoral way of thinking.
Conventional wisdom would argue that all crack cocaine dealers make an obscene amount of money. Despite the danger of dealing drugs in Chicago (or anywhere for that matter), many people still do it. Lower paying jobs generally have a large supply pool, and higher paying jobs generally have a smaller supply pool. Realizing that these crack dealing organizations and gangs operate like a normal business flies in the face of the conventional wisdom that crack dealers are all rich. The American idea of working hard and eventually becoming successful is what the lower level dealers believe in and what makes them stay in that horrible job. There is a multitude of lower level jobs to fill, but there is a significantly smaller number of higher paying jobs available. The people in charge would like things to stay as

Lewis's insights on the insidious strategy of Satan -- the archenemy of our souls -- appear to have been right on target in regard to modern occultism. (2)
Supreme beings appear in many creation myths. These rulers are often the creator of mankind and are seen as the father figure to the other gods. The
Satan is an allegorical representation of God the Father. Both Satan and God are seen as Father figures; God as the Father of all that is virtuous, and Satan as the Father of all that is wicked. Just as God is the King of heaven, Satan claims himself King of Hell. God is the originator of Goodness, as Satan is the originator of Evilness. All in all, Satan is a perverse representation of God.
When the British Army left Boston, this Lodge, # 441, granted Prince Hall and his brethren authority to meet as a lodge, to go in procession on Saints John Day, and as a Lodge to bury their dead; but they could not confer degrees nor perform any other Masonic "work".
Scientology is a religion that was created in 1952 by L. Ron Hubbard. Scientology teaches that people are immortal beings who have forgotten their true nature, and aims to bring humans back to that nature. (What is scientology, 4) This religion aims to give you tools and ways to find out more about who you are as an individual. Scientology has since grown into a world wide organization/religion. Due to the fact that it is a newer religion they do not have any branches (Scientology.org, Official Church of Scientology: Beliefs & Practices) so this paper will discuss scientology as a whole. One of the most interesting things about this very complex religion is that you can be both Scientologists and another religion. Scientoligest can often relate most to the ideas of Budidsum but are open to you being any religion that you choose. (Kuchman, May 14)
Although it is claimed that the illuminati is just a myth, however, there are a number of signs that point to the existence of this organized body which aims to control world affairs through means such as music, media, economy, politics, and education.
...ubts himself, has jealousy, confidence and does not know he is wrong when he is; all of which a reader can identify with. Satan is in the same position as human beings under an omnipotent God who has foreseen their fate and yet argues that they possess free will. Both Satan and mankind have a choice to obey or do evil, and that is where they are similar.
Did you know that the Illuminati originated around the 1760s. A Freemason named Adam Weishaupt started it all by himself. The Illuminati’s ultimate goal is to make the world all one big government and one big religion (religion is allegedly known to be Scientific). The hopes were for the borders around each country, state, et cetera to be diminished. They have been pursuing their goal since the French Revolution. The ‘International Bankers’ helped finance the Illuminati so they could start the path iwhich was their main goal. (Ellis-Christensen)
The Misunderstanding of Satanism Satanism is a belief that should not be linked to devil worshipping. Satanism is a new movement which has come in the recent years. The movement gained momentum when Anton LaVey founded his Church to connect with like-minded people. Satanism should be the opposite of the Christian Church. To understand Satanism you must first of all ignore the prejudices as much as you possibly can.
