Freemasonry only requires that a man believe in a Supreme Being... "God", if you will. Beyond that, a man's perception of God, and how he is led to worship is between the individual Mason and his God. Some people feel that Freemasonry is anti-Christian because the fraternity does not require the belief in, and worship of Jesus Christ. We do not disagree (as Masons) with one another over matters of religion or politics, because the discussion of those two subjects is forbidden in the Lodge.

Masons deny membership to those who simply state they believe in God through faith in Christ. On the other hand, they insist they welcome only those who believe in God. If the latter statement were indeed true, then the prior statement as a subset would be included, but those with faith through Christ are excluded. Go figure. To what 'god' do they actually base their devotion, when they disallow faith through Christ?

This is incorrect. The petition for degrees simply asks: "Do you believe in a Supreme Being?"

All that is required is that the question be answered in the affirmative. No further inquiry is allowed.

Huh?

Honestly, I really wonder where some people get this garbage.

It'd be nice if more Christians would spend their time facing the challenges of the faithful and less time looking under their beds for Freemasons.

That;s one of the dumbest things I've ever read...and would come as a great shock to a lot of men I know.
