The natural human reaction to the unknown is apprehension or fear. And so it is that the profane are kept at arms length with tales of dogma &
conspiracy.
I used to have an anti-Masonic stance until I began looking beyond the stories, and into other 'secret societies' (such as Sufis). The path to
wisdom is strewn with good & bad causes & effects.
I have know a few Masons, some were not to my liking, while others have proved themselves to be very charitable & helpful (sometimes beyond the call
of duty).
I have reason to mistrust some & champion others, just like all humans. Don't judge all Masons by the actions of a few bad apples.
BTW, I am not a Mason.
