I desire to see Christians expending time, talents and strength for higher and nobler objects than the weak and glittering follies of secret oath bound societies

I had the opportunity to visit the House of the Temple Lodge
in Washington DC back in 2006. As I toured the interior I saw a
multitude of symbols, statues, a massive library that is open to the
public, and the grand lodge room itself. It was this room that was
featured in Dan Brown’s latest novel The Lost Symbol. In the center of
this room, directly underneath a large skylight, symbolizing the light
of heaven shining down in favor, was the altar, seen below.
All Masons entering this lodge kneels before this altar, as evidenced
by the kneeling pillow on the floor. The problem I have is not
necessarily with the altar itself, but what is on this altar.
Shown here is a Bible, a copy of the Tanakh (Jewish scripture), the
Koran (Muslim scripture), the Bhagavad Gita (Hindu scripture), and what I
believe is some sort of Buddhist text. I will never bow to this. I
will not be a Mason.
