Does anyone have one shred of evidence that the masons adhere to paganism beside some silly little show?

Question

hosted by one of those ‘conspiracy-theory’ type guys who has also never been to a mason meeting?

And more importantly, do any of you actually demand any kind of proof before you believe anything or do you just rely on conjecture for all your facts?

Answer 1

I have a masonic handbook... masons seem to look for meaning in many philosophies and sciences.

Answer 2

The Bible is the "Volume of Sacred Law" of most Western Lodges. It is one of the three objects comprising "The Three Great Lights," the most common and important Masonic symbol, which must be displayed while Lodges meet. The other objects are the compass and the square, and the sacred volume, which does not have to be the Bible. It may be whatever scripture is revered by the members of the Lodge (Hamil, 151).


Freemasonry is not a religion. It is a fraternal order, although many Christian ideas and ideals are important to the Masons and are incorporated in their rituals. To become a Mason one must ask a friend in the Lodge to recommend him, sign a petition stating name, age, occupation, and place of residence, and all the members must vote unanimously on the acceptance. The requirement for membership is a belief in one non-specific Supreme Being.



Freemasonry's basic tenets are:

brotherly love (tolerance, respect, kindness and understanding of others, especially to their Masonic Brothers)
relief (caring for the whole community through philanthropy)
truth (morals)



Freemasonry has been said to be an institutional outgrowth of the medieval guilds of stonemasons (1), a direct descendant of the "Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem" (the Knights Templar) (2), an offshoot of the ancient Mystery schools (1), an administrative arm of the Priory of Sion (3), the Roman Collegia (1), the Comacine masters (1), intellectual descendants of Noah (1), and to have many other various and sundry origins.

Answer 3

Watch the History Channel, it airs are a lot of shows about the masons.

Answer 4

the masons only require their members to proclaim a belief in a "higher power" or "supreme being"

they dont require anyone to adhere to any specific religious cult belief like christianity, paganism, or anything else.

anyone claims otherwise, they are a flat-out liar.

you see? how can I get a "thumbs down" for my reply?? what is the matter with some of you, and your hate for other people!? this was an educated, accurate reply. I have been a freemason myself since I graduated from college, like my father before me.

good gawd, some of you need to take your f*&%^ing meds!!

Answer 5

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization with millions of members.[1] It exists in various forms worldwide, with shared moral and metaphysical ideals and in most of its branches requires a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being.

As according to wikipedia

Answer 6

I rely on the BIBLE and it says that Mormonism is a false religion and it also speaks against belonging to secret organizations.
Joseph Smith was horribly deceived and much like Mohammad, he had a Real Big Hang Up when it came to sex!!
Did you know that when J. Smith was killed, the police found a talisman of the Greek god Jupiter in his pocket???
Oh yea, he had both orrs in the water! NOT!!!

Answer 7

The oly real proof is the understanding that they are somewhat [not very much, but it is there] connected to the Western Mystery Traditions, which use world-wide religious symbolism. Of course, those groups are always Christian [The few I know that aren't are the OTO]

This issue boils down to each Christian thinking that every other Christian who doesn't conform to their idea of one, exactly, isn't a real Christian.

Answer 8

Answer 9
