Howdy All,
This may have been discussed previously, and if so, I ask the Mods to please remove the thread if they so desire. (not that my permission is worth the digital typography its given in)
Being the devout ritualist that I feel that I am, it is impossible to ignore the overtly Judeo-Christian overtones present in, at the very least, the Texas Masonic Ritual (GLoT). Some have offered the opinion that, due to our observance of the Holy Bible (KJV?) as our primary VSL, our ritual has been necessarily painted with the Christian brush. Others have suggested that the prominence of Christianity at the birth of our nation as the impetus behind it while others maintain that the Hiramic Legend rooted in the Old Testament requires it.
What do You think?
I appreciate your thoughtful response.
