Not all Freemasons buy into the random musings of Albert Pike. Me, I think his writings are those of a lunatic. That is the beauty of Freemasonry: because it is not a religion, there is no Dogma, and thus no requirement to observe anybody’s views as Holy Writ.

Sounds an awful lot like "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law".

Well, maybe he just got a little too much sun.
M&D seems to contain, among other things, a fairly accurate account of the history of morality and religious dogma.
Which parts do you find objectionable?
