Comments about ‘Mormons, Masons and myths’

As a 20 year mason and having been grown up in the church I feel I must comment on this article. There can be no doubt that much of actions, signs, grips and words used in the masonic tradition was taken directly into the church. Symbols, hand shakes all are 100% directly masonic. Quotes form Young and Smith actually making statements that attach the masonic legend of Hiram Abbif into scripture are just eye opening. Please note as you study the linkage here that historians have traced the Masons back to the Knights Templar (see book Born in blood).. and NEVER beyond that time! That was 1,000 years ago... Smith and Young in making statements about masons like them to before the time of Jesus Christ, which means that they are off by about 1,000 years. Sorry if tiny little facts cause you confusion.
