Message: <blockquote data-quote="CoronaBorealis" data-source="post: 4363442" data-attributes="member: 43847">Yet, by requiring belief in a higher power as part of membership, you don’t leave religion at the door.I’m truly not arguing for arguments sake, but none of the statements that have been laid out here in favor of Freemasonry make sense.1. Freemasonry isn’t a religion - yet you have to believe in a higher power, it has rituals and a framework of knowledge, it has temples, and there are even Masonic cemeteries and funeral rights. That sounds like a religion to me.2. Its possible to be a Freemason and a Christian - yet Jesus Christ taught that “I am the Way and the Truth..”, and He created One Church, but Freemasonry teaches all religions are equally good. 3. Freemasonry is just a fraternal organization seeking to do good — yet you have to join to learn more about it.  Why so much emphasis on trusting another Mason, if the only objective is self improvement and doing good in the world? My problem is not with any one individual on this forum. I’m sure you are all decent people, even if I believe you are in self denial regarding Freemasonry. My problem is with the organization as a whole. I do believe it is fundamentally anti-Christian.</blockquote>
