I tend to lean towards the ideas Freemasonry. Freemasons mostly believe in morals, philosophy, and brotherhood while avoiding false pretexts and arrogant prophets from many different religions. I’m a man of science so it’s hard to believe in any sort of obscure ultimate divine power or alluded promises of salvation.
The way I see it, if God really existed why would there be disease in this world? I was born with essential tremor and I have been unable to control it since I can remember. I used to blindly pray to god to make it disappear by judging my good deeds over any sins my family or I may have committed to afflict me with such a disease. I’m 21 now and the disease hasn’t gone away while progressing at the same time. Spiritually, I see no reason for me to have the disease. In reality I do have it and no god is going to cure me of it, so I respect a lot of the doctors and scientists that put in endless hours to find cures for many diseases. I always hear that shit argument that god wants you to suffer on this world before you can obtain salvation in heaven. To me that’s a bunch of bullshit. What about kids with birth defects and handicaps? Did they really deserve to have those “extreme” ailments before they even had the chance to prove to god how good of a person they are? For being such a “loving” father, god seems like the biggest douche bag there could possibly be. I always hear that god is everywhere in this world. Well, why the fuck can’t he take 5 seconds of his time to whisper in my ear that he exists? The pharmacist that I work with and I have various religious discussions about many reasons why god doesn't exist (it pays not talking to an idiot like some irrational religious fool). I could describe all these reasons why I don’t believe in god but I’m not here to write a book. Let me mention that I’m not a full blown atheist either. I still do question the existence of god.
So, why Freemasonry? I’m intrigued of how secret of a fraternity they are. Many believe that the higher degree masons know the truths about religion, both the power from the bad and the good. They use powerful symbolism all over the world. Their influence in politics is incredible. For example George Washington was a freemason. Many elite politicians and military generals are/were freemasons if you do the research. One of the major reasons Hitler came to power in Germany was the help he received from freemasons when no one even knew who the hell he was.
There are many different sects of Freemasons. My favorite is the Illuminati, perhaps the most powerful people in the world. Not much is specifically known about them because of how they secretly operate. If you do the research though, their existence becomes unquestionable
