dear /x/
my dad wants me to join the masons
i'm 33, have a decent job and could be a good contributor he said, i told him i would think about it
now, i don't believe in the christian god, i think there's something there but the idea of a personal god is not right for me
i am heavily into occultism and i've heard that you can go off in different teachings once you've joined and abandon the christian side of things
can anyone help or give advice?

Perfect age to join.
You are a tool to their occult partakings and whatnot.
Taking this as definite truth in your foundation to taking on your life in the spiritual regard.
Leave anything outside of Abrahamic teachings as 100% false.
(truth mixed with lies = positive integer multiplied with null)
pls save yourself and choose christ for your path.

Mason here. When you say you believe something is there, but that you don't believe in a personal God, what exactly do you mean? If you believe in some sort of Supreme Being, you'll be golden.
FYI, we aren't specifically Christian. I am, and most Mason are, but we're open to Jews/Muslims/Deists/Hindus/Pagans/Etc (anyone that believes in some form of God).

Thanks for the reply
Not exactly a supreme being but more of an infinite conciousness where we are all one. It could be considered a being which is supreme though?

Sorry man i am very spiritual but it would be intellectually dishonest of me to say i think there's something there with abrahamic religion
Well Lucifer is the god of masons so you'll fit in

You sound like you could be easily swayed into believing anything. You'll be fine.

Honestly this is not the case with me at all

The old guys bumbling around my dad's lodge don't seem too satanic
>>19473556
It's a self improvement old man's club. Basically. Good stuff honestly, self improvement wrapped around some mystical plastic paper. Eventually you learn it was all self improvement knowledge to better yourself. Not some movie tier magic stuff.
>>19473556
Most of the guys you see bumbling around the club let you think they are big harmless fuzzballs.
Don't let looks deceive you.
You only have your soul to lose
>>19473482
You could probably call that a Supreme being. Would you be cool with being obligated on a religious book (Bible, Tanahk, Quran, etc)?
>>19473498
lol nice tinfoil hat
>>19473503
Don't be a dick.
>>19474104
Oh, yeah, I totally carry giant statues of Baphomet into lodge all the time. Lol, fuck off.

> i don't believe in the christian god, i think there's something there but the idea of a personal god is not right for me
Would this not be a disqualifier?
>>19473265
Freemasons is just a charity organization, fuckie.

It honestly depends on how he defines it and what state he's in. As is, it's a disqualifier in most Jurisdictions.
