About us
This group meets monthly to discuss subjects of import to humanity. From philosophy and religion to science, history, and politics, this study center presents, discusses and debates a variety of subjects in the hope of gaining a better understanding of ourselves and the universe around us. By meeting and discussing important ideas and issues, we grow in understanding, tolerance, and wisdom.
The Masonic Philosophical Society was created by Universal Freemasonry to promote the eradication of ignorance in all its forms. Any person who is a freethinker, tolerant and open, and who seeks rational discourse is invited to attend and learn more about oneself, the world, the universe, and Freemasonry.
Mission Statement
The Masonic Philosophical Society embraces the concept of learning, not for school, but for life, and believes that all men, who seek it, deserve access to continued education. We further embrace the concept of a community environment, where ideas can be shared and debated in an open forum. From the seven liberal arts to the arcane, we seek to gain and to share the knowledge that is the legacy of mankind.

"Is God Dead"
Bellflower Masonic Lodge, 9813 Beach Blvd., Bellflower, CA, USMay's topic will be conducted by Bro. Kevin Watson as he asks the question, "Is God Dead?"
Synopsis:
In his 1883 book, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Fredrich Nietzsche’s claim that “God is Dead” represents the decline of religious authority in a modern, scientific age. The decline culminated in an increasingly widespread nihilistic viewpoint across Humanity.
Nietzsche and others, including many Freemasons, were concerned about the rise of nihilism and advocated the philosophy of existentialism as a counter point. This presentation will consider the ramifications for society presented by nihilistic thought.Mission Statement:
