Illuminati are who exactly?

[Michael]

Without sounding like to much of a simpleton, exactly who are/where the Illuminati? Are they a part of the Shriner guys that buzz around in the little cars? Or just fictional? Are they a religion?

 

[Michael]

well it seems to be there are two fraternities: masons which eventually can move up to being a shriner and then there's illuminati which seem to be a separate fraternity.

I did find this out though, which is kind of cool:

Shriners, or Shrine Masons, belong to the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America (A.A.O.N.M.S.). The Shrine is an international fraternity of approximately 500,000 members who belong to Shrine Center throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and The Republic of Panama. Founded in New York City in 1872 the organization is composed Master Masons.

The Shrine is best-known for its colorful parades, its distinctive red fez, and its official philanthropy, Shriners Hospitals for Children, which is often called "the heart and soul of the Shrine." Principles of Freemasonry -- Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.

Members of the Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America are members of the Masonic Order and adhere to the principles of Freemasonry -- Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.

Freemasonry dates back hundreds of years to when stonemasons and other craftsmen on building projects gathered in shelter houses or lodges. Through the years these gatherings changed in many ways until formal Masonic lodges emerged, with members bound together not by trade, but by their own wishes to be fraternal brothers. There is no higher degree in Freemasonry than that of Master Mason (the Third Degree).

So maybe Xian Shriners and Islamic Muslims have more in common than they thought? Neat huh?

And you get to wear a lamp-shade on your head

I don't think the illuminati get a funny little hat?

That "funny hat" is a red fez. The Red fez they wear celebrates the massacre of at least 50,000 Christians in morroco. The jihadists dipped their white Fezez in the blood that was flowing in the streets as a way of proving that they took part in the great slaughter of the infidels. A Red fez was a symbol of pride for them.

The High level masons worship lucifer, they are anti-christian.
