So many, if not most, of the questions and answers the the Religion & Spirituality section of Yahoo! Answers are entertaining & absurd. Other than being entertained, is anyone really benefited? If anyone can knows of a forum of serious discussions, it would be good to know.

Is affinity of spiritual things the next step from physical or are physical and materialistic ambitions constant distractors, blinding us from seeing our spiritual needs?
I was just about to pick the best answer, but this one is tough. I’ll have to wait. You’ve all provided unique and interesting replies.

My grandfather was a secretary come treasurer of his lodge. I know that each member of the order is important, but I was wondering what the role of the secretary is?

Freemasonry is a very interesting topic to me and I’m just wondering if there are any good resources out there. Has anyone (like an exmember) leaked any of their secrets over the years to the public?

I guess I’ve been intrigued since I started paying attention to the Masonic Temple in my own town. Oddly enough, the building is uniformally covered with windows except for a large portion on one side of the building. It is fairly obvious that this is a section of the building that they dont want to the public seeing anything about. What is going on in there?
I am aware that they do many good things including donating much money to charity. I was also aware that the Shriners have a very close tie to or are a part of the Freemasons. I never said that they were up to anything sinister, I simply am wondering what they are so secretive about.

Nearly all of the founders of the US, like Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson etc. were all Freemasons. The upper levels of Freemasons were controlled by the corrupt banking families of Europe like the Bildenbergs and the Rothchilds, which means that our country from the beginning was a phony democracy and republic never intending to give any power to the people but only superficially with the election of representatives and govt officials who have been sanctioned by our govt to be assassinated should any of them threaten the power and control of the banking familes.

Spirituality is ones personal belief in God or a power greater than themselves. The key point being that it is internal and personal not external.

Religion on the other hand is man made, period. It is essentially a business enterprise, with many becoming VERY large and VERY profitable. Religious institutions should be treated as business and taxed as such. Even the Religion and Spirituality section in Yahoo Answers should be divided into two separate categories as they are drastically different.

I really don’t know what to think sometimes and would like your perceptions and opinions. I read a lot of questions in the religion and spirituality category and have to wonder sometimes what the asker’s motive is in asking the question. If there are hidden agendas what might some of them be? I’m very interesting in getting your opinions. Thanks.

For example, in their closed meeting with politicians, do they encourage them to vote on way or the other?

I mean isn’t that why such organizations REALLY exist: influence peddling!
