People hate secret societies because they are secret

Honestly? No. Just as I don't feel particularly compelled to find out why someone steps on a glass during a Jewish wedding or why Catholics perform ritual cannibalism in the form of the eucharist. Every belief, practice or ritual that's sacred to one may be silly to another, or even threatening to yet another. If it's not hurting anyone, why not let them speak in tongues and dance around a fire if they want to?

Why do people hate them? Well, If I see people go to a place called bohemian grove and chatter who knows what and perform rituals, then would you want to know?

Originally posted by Afterthought I do not hate the masons. I feel bad for them. The ones in the lower ranks are in denial of the fact that they are supporting men that are truly dangerous and deserve to be hated.
I've heard personal stories from people who have seen children as young as 10 given sexual hash names. There is no need for this. I have no respect for a parent who allows their child to be given a risque name by people they consider friends.
Its not the secret aspect of these things that one hates but the people who think that they are apart from the rest by engaging in secret activities. I silly pitty them for they are not in anyway better than an ordinary man.
Why can't they just let them do their thing peacefully? Are you sure they are doing it in peace? These are not secret societies that people "hate"!!.....These are Societies with Secrets that people "hate"!! Tell me why they should hold secrets if in the name of peace they act?
Text I recently wasted many hours on a youtube post debating with someone who was convinced beyond all reason the The Masons anf "Reptilians" are conspiring to overthrow the world. I mainly asked questions to challenge his theory. Finally after a 2-3 post back and forth I was accused of being a "shill". Anyways as far as I know I'm not a "shill" for the Masons or Reptilians. But If they are as sneeky as this fellow made them out to be maybe I am!?!?

I dont think there exists many people who fear freemasons, whats to fear about a bunch of elderly men who enjoy secretly meeting other elderly or not so elderly men, hold hands in a special way and who like to play dress ups in Turkish hats and womens aprons.
Now that i think about it maybe its a bit scarier than i first thought.
