..... Veiling Freemasonry as a morality is a very dangerous game. Belief can change in an instant, truth is a constant. I find it curious that men who believe that Freemasonry has existed from time immemorial could believe that it is based on something as mercurial as morality.
Hmmmm.... Freemasonry is often described as a "system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by "... Not sure I agree with "Veiling Freemasonry as a morality is a very dangerous game." because of of Freemasonry actually BEING a system of morality - but as it is veiled and allegorical, it become subjective; which is really the a key concept, one man might be right or wrong, but if he does no evil, does it really matter ? Can diverse men with different believes which put them in conflict in the outside world meet in a lodge as equals and brothers ? Might that positive interaction influence how they treat each other in the outside world ?
Isn't one of the most accessible lessons of Freemasonry the lessons on how we should treat each other and act as honourable men ? Is that a system of morality ? Is morality a code of conduct ?
And while I'm sparking hopefully what might be a good chat, "Religious Literacy in Freemasonry" is the title of this thread, why do we need religious literacy in Freemasonry when each man's religion is his own affair ? What's religion got to do with the Craft ? It only influences its members (often a good thing) but to run our secular non-religious organisation - why do we need religious literacy?
