The Secret of Freemasonry

"I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it." Thomas Paine Every religion has flaws. These flaws are relative to each individual and might vary. They will range from small, petty externalities to holes in its worldview and or theology. Political ideologies are even more complicated. One might lean towards the Left but not every single policy or idea of the Left can be found agreeable. And of course, one could also ask what Left wing politics are we referring to...it is the same with every other field of human endeavour. Nothing is perfect. One simply cannot submit completely his ontological commitment to anything. Church, state, nation, ideology...there are always holes. There are always gaps. There is no ultimate truth in anything.  Except in Freemasonry...
