Anyone here a freemason?

You need to have a belief in a supreme being to be a member, that must prevent a lot of rational people who might otherwise consider it, shooting yourselves in the feet in this day and age I would have thought.

Would it be OK if I believe that I'm the Supreme Being?

So it's not really that different to the Rotary or Lions Clubs?

Except you have to profess to believe in and memorize a bunch of pseudo-religious tulip that even L. Ron Hubbard wouldn't have tried to get away with.

Does being a Jedi Master or follower count ?

Masonry is a cult based upon mediocrity and mendacity. It is elitist, racist and misogynist. Masons come firstly. The notion of masons advocating democratic freedoms and rights is pure nonsense. It is a deceptive lie. Their practical volume of the sacred law is the book for tyrants by Machiavelli called The Prince, or the egotistic selfishness of the philosopher Ayn Rand (a woman!), who advocated a might is right, laissez-faire capitalism with no regard for social welfare for the disadvantaged.

Masons do not recogise the Divinity of God in the Christian sense, and as such their saying "Let the Brother be brought to Light" can be considered to have a sinister subtext. (The Light of Lucifer... )

OTOH, the above is all rumour and falsehood, and everything a secretive and elitist organisation tells you is all cuddly and fluffy.

Bah!

You have to believe in God to become a Mason ( or at least you did when I was one)

masons are men, so what kind of a mason were you? A masonette?

Ha Ha - have not heard that one before.

I am not in a masonic lodge now and have not been a mason for 20 years and would not want to be in one (All I am pointing out is there are are female masons, have been for years).

The story goes a cleaner was late cleaning a lodge and when the men entered the lodge she hid in a closet. She then witnessed a a lodge meeting and was found. As only masons can be present she was initiated into the lodge.

Personally I just think it was started by a group of Mason Wives out for revenge!
