Agree?

Agree. People always say that Musk should use his wealth to feed the hungry. Fuck that. Once Musk feeds them they will be hungry again. He should use it to develop spaceflight, robotics, neurolink, and other things that advance our civilizatoin.

Forced wealth redistribution will not work. In fact, if anything, it is counterproductive. You have to ask yourself why certain cultures and societies have flourished and advanced like they have while others languished and remained mired in poverty.

Until you change those things about a society that produce those negative results, that society will never advance. Those changes could take many generations to occur, and they can easily be disrupted or stopped by returning to just some of the past negative practices.

Welfare, for example, is not a hand up, but a handout for most who receive it. It generally disincentives work and self-betterment. At the same time, instituting confiscatory levels of taxation to pay for it only incentivizes cheating, black markets, and even simply giving up and becoming a welfare recipient rather than work hard and have the results taken from you.

...and such communism, like any form of socialism, is based on theft of wealth.

Everything from having to knock THREE times to Hiram Abiff and everything in between. Secret oaths are directly opposed to Gods word . So it only makes sense that I would be opposed to the Masonic Lodge.

God has used several secret oaths. They are blessed by God. They are not directly opposed to God's word.
Nothing in the Bible forbids secret oaths or even secrets.

I assume you keep your computer passwords secret.
I assume you keep your bank PIN code secret.
I assume you approve of locks on doors and keeping keys limited to authorized personnel.

Masonic lodges require a belief in a Supreme Being (a god). Nothing prevents that god from being God the Father or Jesus Christ, His Son.

Their various signs and symbols are used as teaching aids, and to identify the rank of members. They are often designed to build trust in other members of the lodge. Masonic lodges are about service and charity, both elements of Christianity.

I really don't care if you don't trust Masonic lodges, but don't condemn what you do not know.
