Trust me, I know many Masons and am one, there isn't any "conspiricy".
Just fear from people who don't know what the heck is going on in there. Mostly from the Church.
Actually its not from all the people in the Church...Speaking about the Church doesn't the Masons have a Bible on a table and a compass and square? In a nice room?...OBD
No not all Churches but more specifically the Catholic Church.
As to part b, I cannot answer that for you. I mean, I could...but I won't, because I gave my word not to.
Let me help you...You swore upon that Bible and also it was a King James Version Bible...Please you either believe in that Bible or you don't...Its nice to see you belong to an organization that promotes the Bible in the sacrament:
