Can we really say that this is a requirement if we promote we do not descriminate based on religion? I hate to say this but I feel more and more like my freemasonry is being hijacked by Judeo Christians using it to evangelize the word of their God. I am no expert on any form of religion but I have to say I'm **** tired of having others form shoved down my throat every chance they get. |
Wow. In Georgia, the "resurrection of the body" is not present as a requirement. In fact, that has not been an explicit requirement of any body that I have joined. Here, it is "Belief in a Supreme and Everlasting Being, some revelation of His will, and the immortality of the soul", period. Revelation of His will doesn't have to be a published and generally accepted book; it is nobody's business but the candidate how he meets those three criteria, provided that he does in his own mind. I was completely nondenominational when I first joined.
