My experience of the Masons is admittedly pretty much entirely anecdotal and comes largely from people who don't like them. I haven't read any of the books but I have poked around on-line a bit. That's given me the impression that it's nothing more than a bunch of wee men who haven't grown out of the treehouse club mentality. "You cannae be in oor gang." sort of thing. Obviously, I could be way off the mark but the people I've met who I know to be Masons have done little to suggest that I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcat1990 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 A club where women aren't allowed, do weird homoerotic initiations and you dress like a twat. Sound like a bunch of vl's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 3 minutes ago, Stinky Bone said: In freemason lodges the discussion of religion and politics is forbidden and would result in a freemason being banned. They are a charitable organisation that admits men of any religion, colour or creed. These two statements suggests that the details of a member's religious beliefs aren't high on their priority list. Do you know then, why they specifically exclude men who do not subscribe to a religion? Not just atheists but anyone agnostic on the topic is forbidden from joining. They make a point of insisting that you HAVE to believe in a Supreme Being. This doesn't seem to gel with the tolerance and openness outlined in your comments. Question, not argument.

BFTD Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Jesus, even the moderation team at your favourite football forum is stuffed full of masons f**k it; I'm going to give it a shot. I'm sure they'll accept the Flying Spaghetti Monster as my deity of choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they do so wrong , according to your research ? There is a strong positive correlation between fuckwits and weirdos. I would draw you a Venn diagram to illustrate this but I can’t be arsed.

Now don't offer me a square go because you can't keep you're own promise. If I had made the statement not to respond to you with my trouser leg rolled up whilst washing my hands in goats blood I would, of course, have been bound by it. Fortunately I wasn’t.
