Albert Pike har ju i sina böcker öppet medgett att det handlar om att dyrka Lucifer så jag förstår inte riktigt varför ni lågrankade frimurare puckon kommer in i tråden och påstår det ena och det andra (att det är en kristen organisation haha) när eran initieringsritual involverar att svära på svärdet vilket totalt går emot vad bibeln säger att man ska göra (dvs aldrig svära en ed till människor, aldrig kalla en annan man mästare osv osv)
Förövrigt finns det loger som tillåter häxor också tex "Order of the Eastern Star"
Nog för att jag inte sympatiserar med frimurare men det berömda citatet om Lucifer kommer inte från Pikes egen bok utan från ett tal som sedan citerades i en annan bok. se nedan:
Citat:
Many say the following is not true for they have read that Albert Pike spoke the following but could not find it in Morals and Dogma. That is because it is not in Morals and Dogma. It was part of a speech given to 23 33rd degree Freemasons of the world. Here it is:
General Albert Pike, Grand Commander, sovereign pontiff of universal freemasonry, giving instructions to the 23 supreme councils of the world.
“That which we must say to the crowd is, we worship a god, but it is the god one adores without superstition. To you sovereign grand inspector general, we say this and you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees - the Masonic religion should be by all of us initiates of the high degrees, maintained in the purity of the luciferian doctrine.
If lucifer were not god, would Adonay (the God of the Christians) whose deeds prove cruelty, perfidy and hatred of man, barbarism and repulsion for science, would Adonay and His priests, calumniate Him?
Yes, lucifer is god, and unfortunately Adonay is also God, for the eternal law is that there is no light without shade, no beauty without ugliness, no white without black, for the absolute can only exist as two gods. darkness being necessary for light to serve as its foil, as the pedestal is necessary to the statue, and the brake to the locomotive.
Thus, the doctrine of Satanism is heresy, and the true and pure philosophical religion is the belief in lucifer, the equal of Adonay, but lucifer, god of light and god of good, is struggling for humanity against Adonay, the god of darkness and evil”
