While many churches are also simlarly vandalized, one thinks what with the general understanding of Freemasonry, someone has been reading the hate sites:

Agreed , I thought the "anti's" would be chiming in with their remark's . I know in my neck of the woods the general public looks to us in a positive light or doesn't give us a thought one way or another , but most look at the Anti-mason's with disdain and thinks they are nothing more than kook's .
How sad. I had no idea that Masons got hit with this kind of hate graffiti. Sometimes, when this happens,I think it is people that just have to deface things and places that mean something to people. A few years ago a cemetery that goes back to the Civil War in our area was attacked. Headstones were spray painted or knocked over and a memorial statue of a Civil War soldier was beheaded with the head stolen. It makes you sick to think of such atrocities.
I think the people generally responsible for this type of vandalism actually have very little knowledge about the group they are attacking (hence the use of satanic symbolism in this instance). Rather, they see these targets as representing 'the establishment' and a strata of society that they have little chance of ever entering.
The ridiculous things is that the very people who are vandalising property are likely to be benefiting from Masonic good works in their communities.I think you're right, Green. I feel sorry for these people but their actions make me so angry. I need to try to understand them better, I guess...
