Other Objections

"The search for conspiracy only increases the elements of morbidity and paranoia and fantasy in this country. It romanticizes crimes that are terrible because of their lack of purpose. It obscures our necessary understanding, all of us, that in this life there is often tragedy without reason."
Anthony Lewis (b. 1927), U.S. journalist. New York Times (25 Sept. 1975).

Some objections raised to Freemasonry seem to cross the lines between religious and societal objections. We've added them here. Of particular interest is the way and manner in which anti-Masons love to quote (or misquote - or quote totally out of context) the writings by Masons about Freemasonry. We've come across several of these claims and have listed them on our page titled "Books by Masons".  

In addition, there are some claims that can't be categorized such as the following:

 
bullet

Masonic authors themselves show the evil/wrongness of Freemasonry;

bullet

"Jack the Ripper" was a Mason and/or Masons protected him;

bullet

Masonry is part of (or runs or is run by) Illuminati';

bullet

Candidates are forced to suffer indignities including riding a goat during initiation ceremonies;

bullet

Freemasonry practices sexism;

bullet

Freemasonry practices racism;

bullet

Freemasonry is a cult;

bullet

Hitler and the Nazis were involved in Freemasonry;

bullet

There are many 'evils' in Freemasonry.

We'll add to this section as we find bizarre and unusual objections to Freemasonry.
