@CosmicBoot – Yeah, It's a Masonic Bible. The text is that of the King James version. It includes sections about Masonic rites, prayers, rituals, etc. as well as illustrated plates with Masonic images and tracing boards. Like an old family Bible had pages to write about the family, visitors, and so on, this one has pages to make note of visiting brothers, special events in the Lodge and whatnot. It belonged to my Grandfather, so it is pretty interesting.
WTF is that mess saying? I grew up in a southern church, and never really understood why people took that crap seriously. Old McDonald had a farm; Ye shall, thee, thou, though!
@VideoGuyNC Yeah, just religious people trying too hard to "fit in" or whatever they call all that crap they say is true. I CAN'T STAND when I ask people how do you prove Adam and Eve and things like that, and they ALL say, "because it's in the bible". After that, I say "well who wrote the bible?", and they say "God". Sure "God" wrote the bible in "Heaven" and dropped it and it landed on someones' head and knocked them out. Yeah, that sounds factual.
@JazzminOber I hear ya on that. Kind of like saying Miss Cleo was a godess because she might have guessed a thing here and there correctly. I always like to ask, "If god wrote the bible, why are SO many details in it so messed up." I find it very challenging to believe someone wrote a book to guide us over a thousand years before mankind even acknowledged that the world is round.
@VideoGuyNC Yeah, just some people that needed an explanation for how the world was made and how us human were made. I guarantee that if there were no such thing as Christianity or any other religion, there wouldn't be as much ignorance as there is today. I don't know if I consider myself an Atheist, like I believe there is a higher power. We're such an insignificant planet in the middle of nowhere, we could be controlled by a higher power. I think when we die our energy goes into something else
@JazzminOber As an Atheist, personally - I think the majority of us believe in a "higher power" in the sense that "something" is responsible for the universe, and everything that happens in it. Atheists just don't believe that this "something" is any kind of "conscious" being. But, absolutely - I believe that chemical/atomic forces are in control of the universe. I personally don't know about any kind of conscious life after death, but we return to matter which becomes part of other things. :)
@VideoGuyNC I know, I might sound like I'm saying two different things, but I do believe in spirits and ghosts and stuff like that. It might seem silly to you, but I've had a haunted house before. When I was four, a girl that obviously died on the farm, I guess you could say always like played dolls with me. It also used to be a nursing home. But anyway, I just am confused with a lot of things and positive at the same time. But I don't know, I'll see when I die. :)
@JazzminOber Well, on the topic of haunted places, I actually believe in that as well. I had a personal experience with a haunted place. The place was a large group cabin in the NC mountains called the "Grand View Lodge" at Fall creek cabins and Lodge. It's a huge 10 bed/6.5 bath lodge that my family stayed at for a couple nights. It was definitely haunted as some of our family actually had things thrown at them during the night, and the doors would open and close at random times.
@VideoGuyNC Oh, wow. Yeah, I want to search stuff like that more. My mom was sleeping once and she felt something was staring at her, she opened her eyes and she saw a girl that looked about thirteen with brown hair and a sideways ponytail. She was reaching toward her, not meaning any harm and my mom levitated from her bed. It scared her so bad. So I believe that people go back to the places they died after death.
@JazzminOber WoW! Yep, I certainly do believe in ghosts and things, but I don't believe it's the actual person or anything. Basically, I don't believe the "ghost" has any ability to think or anything. I think it's more left over energy from the person's life/existence.
yeaaahhya

Is that a freemasons bible? Are there any differences to a regular non masonic bible? Just wondering, cheers!
