Freemasonry doesnt worship Lucifer?

Masons dont worship any deity.

But if I were forced to worship either lucifer, the lightbearer or Yahweh, the God of destruction, revenge, jealousy and war...who might I choose? Hmmmm....

Yaweh, God of Destruction

"Worshipful" is the Middle English term that means "honorable". "Master" designates one who has mastered a particular craft.

Although "worshipful" is not commonly used in the USA, it still is used in the UK and Canada, where judges are referred to as "Your Worship" (which equal our "Your Honor"), and the title is applied to dignitaries (i.e., the Right Worshipful Lord Mayor of London).

Since Freemasonry is a product of medieval England, the language used in the fraternity points to that origin. The Worshipful Master is the title of the presiding officer of a Lodge, not an object of "worship" in the common American sense of the word.

I would like to thank both Masonic Light and Augustus Masonicus for the explanations. It never realy occured to me that the meaning of the title "Worshipful" was one that could be best found in the etymology of the word and not the context that it was used in. It makes alot more sense now. Thank you.

Before I go any further and actually read this, it wouldn't be at all similar or in league with the works of Zecharia Sitchin and the alien slave driving god theory would it.

How can one worship something or someone without knowing it?

Does this mean an atheist could be worshiping Jesus without knowing it?
