| Re: The Age of Enlightenment and Freemasonry Brother Brown,
While I have never read this story of the three imposters until seeing it on your website today, it has always been my personal interpretation that the three ruffians represents the three forms of the Abrahamic faiths.
Hiram represents to me spiritual enlightenment, the three ruffians thereby represent the destroyers of spiritual enlightenment. There is more to it, such as the choice of weapon each uses, where they place their attack, etc. However, I feel that this may not be the best forum for further elaboration.
So, the question you propose is not such a stretch to some of us.
Thanks for posting the three imposters. It made for a very interesting read. There are parts that I have to agree with based on my own study of the three Abrahamic faiths, and there are parts that I feel were lacking in further explanation. Personally, I would have elaborated on the two versions of Jesus Christ. The Christianity before the Council of Nicea was quite different than the product resulting from it.
Fraternally,
