God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit or do you mean an
higher power as you see it ?

The senior positions are mandatory. I have been told that in my local
pig station you will not rise higher than sergeant if you're not in the
lodge. This from my cousin who is a catholic and a sergeant and has been
told he will go no further up the ranks of piggledom as he won't join
the cult.

It refers to bigots like you who spew insults at the people whom they
(and you) envy.

What a moronic question!

You snipped out the answer to your own question just so you could look
like a moronic bigot. On top of that, you tried to be specific to
Christianity despite that fact that Jews can be Masons, and you failed
to provide a specific definition for your interpretation of God.

Since Christians disagree as to the definition of God using the same
Bible, how could any rational person expect a fraternity to dictate a
definition of God?

Masonry requires belief in a single supreme being who is aware of and
responsive to humanity. The personal religious beliefs of the
individual are their own.

Since you want to stereotype a bit, let's see...

Absolutely!
Masons are dedicated to ethical and moral behavior. Masons are also
forbidden from concealing, ignoring or invalidly excusing the offenses
or crime of other Masons, so there is not worry of preferential
treatment. Jews would also be very good because Judaism focuses so
much on moral and ethical behavior in this life rather than focusing
on Salvation. Of course Judaism's esteem of education means that an
unusually high percentage of the Jewish population is "overqualified"
for police work. Jews do make good judges though. Though personally,
I prefer Jewish doctors. I have not known enough Wiccans to formulate
an opinion on their general ethics or adherence to the Laws of the
country (if you meant this to be in any way on-topic). While we are
at it: maybe the French should all be chefs, the Germans all
mechanics...
....or maybe we should just ignore you for being an idiot!

Baldoni, I understand from another post that you are not qualified to
become a Mason due to your criminal past. That is unfortunate for
you. Of course, it also makes your question very hypocritical.
