I'm sure your friend was a good person and in no way am I speaking ill of him as a person... but Freemasons have up to 33 degrees and it is very well known you are appointed to higher degrees after the 3rd.

You never stated how your friend ranked in Freemasonry.

I bet he was the lower 3 levels as these people haven't the slightest clue what actually happens behind the scenes.

Again, I'm not besmirching your friend, all I'm saying was he probably giggled to the thought of Satanism because he was fooled by Satan.
