Its more than laughable that someone who has only read the first 100 pages of Morals and Dogma speaks of people taking the book out of context.
I sugest reading ahead from 28th degree and then starting again from the beginning - you will also benefit from making yourself aware of the index and cross referencing the various passages in the book which pertain to the same elements.
This is a retorical work - like a text-book it is not intended to be read from front to back, anyone that does such is wasting their time.
The principle that you are free to accept or reject the writing is key to the overall principle of Freemasonry - do not try to educate, just let the stupid believe they are smart, they are easier to control that way.

Its hard to believe the long term Masonic posters in this forum haven�t actually sat down and read Morals and Dogma.

Not quite sure what the round of applause for stating "of course religion is universal" is about, just the usual noise to try to drown out rational debate.
It's Freemasonry's interpretation of religion that is skewed, by selecting points that fit its own model and arrogantly refusing to accept anything doesn't, from various religions it deliberately creates the illusion of a new super-religion where there is no right or wrong, just a constantly juxtaposed state of opposites.
It�s the only religion I know of that actually believes that lying, cheating and stealing is not only OK, but a necessary and justified component of �leadership� so long as it is used in moderation and for the benefit of ones �fellows.�
This is why their religion has to be kept secret, not because there are evil �Anti-Masons� lurking around who want to misinterpret it and destroy it, or because it contains powerful and dangerous methodologies and ideals, its because it�s the original cult scam, ah-lah the Bagwan Sri Rashnishi and his �Orange People.�
If people were allowed to question Masonic beliefs it would quickly become apparent that it has more holes than Swiss cheese and contains no great moral teachings at all, just a lot of idol worship, pomp and ceremony.
Its hard to believe the long term Masonic posters in this forum haven�t actually sat down and read Morals and Dogma, admittedly 800 odd pages of social, political and religious rhetoric is not exactly the sort of stuff most sane people would want to read, but what really amazes me is how many people I see posting to this forum who clearly haven�t actually read it trying to say they have.

Albert Pike, Morals & Dogma, wroteScience, not teaching moral and spiritual truths, is dead and dry, of little more real value than to commit to memory a long row of unconnected dates or of the names of bugs or butterflies
Albert Einstein, wrote Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
