Believe in whatever stories you like, fairytales, magic, dragons, Excalibur, stories makes them more mystique, reality isnt full of mysteries.. The best intentions can have the worst outcomes..

I am not the person who is claiming to know 'secrets'.

Why is one required to believe in a supreme power in order to become a mason?

In Regular Masonry the sentiment is that our obligations are worthless unless they are made to something larger than ourselves.

I find that to be debatable.

Well, the requirement is not debatable, you are free to feel it has no meaning for you personally, it is however a commonality that all Regular Masons share.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Fair enough. Maybe I should find a thread that addresses the matter specifically.

a reply to: TzarChasm

Not quite sure if there is one. You may want to start one but the answer I gave is pretty much what everyone else will tell you.

To be honest, your answer wasnt all that satisfying. The answer of "our obligations are worthless unless they are made to something larger than ourselves" seems to raise as many questions in my mind as it answered. then again, maybe its exactly as simple as that and i just have to disagree.

either way, thanks for your time.

I have no issue answering additional questions that you may have but it really is that simple.

A lot of people claim to "know our rituals" but it usually ends up they "know" what others told them and it turns out it isn't our ritual at all.

I'm guessing you're another example of this.

a reply to: Anansi
Except secrecy and secrets are not contrary to society and one's obligation to society. I would say that a society where its citizens can have secrets and use secrecy is a great indicator of its freedom and liberty.

Well said.

Augustus alluded to it, but the requirement for a belief is embedded in the ancient landmarks of Freemasonry.

Another claim you can not substantiate ... "a case of sour grapes"
