There is little argument to be made against the fact that the Freemasons are built on the past and their whole society is based on keeping the past alive. It would seem that there are very few modern day concepts or teachings that are incorporated into what the Freemasons stand for as of today.

It is known that this group keeps the past alive by allegory. All allegory is portraying a story within a story. It doesn't mean that the story has to be true. The freemasons are reported to act out various stories to make a point. It doesn't mean that what they are acting out is an actual occurrence. In other words they are making an example of a point they want to get across, sort of like the moral of a story (but the story is a legend).

To give you a good example of the concept the Freemasons have what is called the Hiramic Legend. This legend is acted out to graphically portray what the legend stands for. Incidentally, there are many legends that the freemasons depend on, but they are only acted out according to the degrees of the order. For example, the Hiramic Legend is only acted out at the 3rd Master Masons degree. The legend is based on the temple of Solomon.

The Freemasons purport that they use this lesson as a symbol to reach to the soul and spirit of the individual by their placing an everlasting impression on their minds of what the role they are playing stands for. In this case, it depicts how good overruled evil and life overpowers death. In support of their actions the Freemasons make note that these attributes are portrayed every day though songs and stories.

It would seem that the Freemasons believe that there have always been legends regarding the good guy being killed and then returning to life. They attribute this as this being common amongst many religions. It is believed that this is where the ancient Freemasons conceived the idea of using the legends as a learning tool. Hence the formation of the Hiramic Legend.

It is believed that the legend was incorporated into Shakespeare?s play Mac Beth. Incidentally, a Hiram Abif worked on the temple of Solomon. Both the Freemasons and anti freemasons will agree upon this point. It?s after this point that the accounting of the legends change.

Moving onto times that are more modern yet still reverting to history there was speculation that Adolph Hitler detested the Freemasons.

Again, there are arguments for both sides, the Freemasons and the anti Freemasons that can be made regarding this particular issue. The Freemason?s view Hitler?s take on them as being symbolic in the fact that the catholic church opposed the Freemasons, therefore two strong entities being the church and the Freemasons were divided, which meant that Hitler felt it opened the door for him to conquer both. If this was true and he believed this premise then he would have no reason to fear them. Therefore, the speculation of the anti Freemasons that Hitler feared the freemasons could not be true.

To support their claim the anti Freemasons point out that Freemasonry was not operating in any of the countries controlled by Hitler during World War II. The Freemasons claim this to be a fallacy albeit those Freemasons that existed met in secrecy.

As in any controversy, there are always pros and cons for both sides of the argument. As you can see this is no different when it comes to the credence of the Freemasons.
