Jesus believed in brotherly love and was crucified--his kingdom was not of this world. George Washington was a general and a Mason. He was president of a new nation that embedded brotherly love within its governmental architecture through the Bill of Rights in concert with limited powers. Sometimes Masonry is looked upon as a sinister threat due to its secretive nature. I think to the contrary, it is secretive because given the world's ruling "law" and philosophy that "selfish ends justifies any means," it is sometimes wise to use stealth. Faithful adherents to Masonry and brotherly love are exceptionally vulnerable. Uniformly forthright efforts can be counterproductive within a hostile environment. For this reason to embed love within the world's architecture sometimes requires the wisdom of serpents.
