Notre Dame: too symbolic to be an accident

What a load of nonsense.

But it shows the rest of your post as not being worth the trouble of reading, so I guess one can be thankful for the warning happening so early on.

If the lord wanted to give a sign, why did he burn down his own church? Why didnt he burn something like, the Louvre, or the Eiffel Tower instead?

Dunno about the Louvre but for the Eiffel Tower he'd have had to turn it into wood first.

Probably thought that to be overly obvious.:mrgreen:

The lord's powers are supposed to be unlimited so he can do anything, according to the Abrahamists. That would have been obvious to anyone who has read or heard about him.

By everything I hear he often likes to think of itself as subtle and going over the top (by turning steel into wood first) would have been detrimental to that desire.

Also on good authority, Peter counseled heavily against it.
 
This had to have been the work of aliens. Most likely the Kree; but I wouldn't put it past the Skrull either.

While the billion pledged REALLY be given? Anyone can make a pledge of a donation. That doesn't mean they'll actually give the money.

Not all donors welsh on their commitments. Most people are not like Donald Trump.

Pretty funny.
It's just like Peter to go all wobbly when it comes to heavenly wrath.

Turning a historic Christian place of worship into a secularist welcome pad dilutes the religious significance of the cathedral and the religion.

No more than 5% of French are Catholic now. Muslims outnumber Catholics and the vast majority of French are atheists. If it ever is reopened, probably it will be a museum dedicated to attacking the history of the Catholic church while adding elements of Islam and other religions to the displays.

Predictably, the government currently is demolishing virtually every Catholic cathedral in France. Those still function as a Catholic church are being vandalized and burned. Notre Dame cathedral is just a tourist trap, nothing else. The act that the French government gives a damn about it won't last long past this news cycle. If the French government gave a damn it would not be demolishing all ancient Cathedrals claiming they are not worth bothering with and probably to end all the attacks, protests and riots around them. No one wants them and many want them destroyed.

But that probably is rational. If the old cathedrals are unusable and just a source of conflict, with the government nor anyone else willing to spend the money to restore or preserve them, why not demolish them? All of them are "works of art" in their own way and decades or centuries in the future they may be regret having destroyed them as they are history - just like towns and cities that demolish their historic district buildings sometimes regret it. But for now, few people care.

Not surprising from a Socialist/Communist hell-hole like France.

This probably belongs in conspiracy.
