Notre Dame on fire

Notre Dame... a catholic cathedral.... to some degree it's a shame that there is old and beautiful art in there that has been destroyed but then again it is a catholic church. If their god exists, then the burning of the church must be the wish of that god. If that is the case, then none of what has happened can be viewed as a tragedy.

In my opinion, notre dame is one of many shrines to NOTHING more than child molestation. I would feel the same indifference I feel now if the whole of the vatican burned down with ALL the catholic priests and relics in it. I hope its arson and I hope it was perpetrated as revenge by someone who suffered at the hands of the catholic church. I hope they come forward and admit it. I would like to see that debate.

As for the people who have donated money to restore it, they disgust me. I don't understand why you would need to donate money to one of the richest organisations in the world. Imagine if they cared enough to donate that money to people who actually need it. in addition to that, every cent you give to the catholic church is a statement that you support child molestation.

Is there a reason they have to be French trees ?

Actually the largest grower of oak trees in France (who I guess knows a tad more than this chap) said earlier that they don’t have enough trees already cut available right now but that they can easily gather it.

They need 1300 majestic oaks from the 19th century with a trunk between 2 and 2.5m, he estimates that with the 3000 towns doing forestry and the 3.5M forest owners, there will be far more than enough.

And why it has to be French trees? We get enough flak with taking migrants, we’re not going to start giving papers to foreign trees in addition! And being migrant trees, they’re too lazy to support the frame.

Learn a bit about history.

Nobody gives money to the church since the churches in France do not belong to the church but the cathedrals belong to the state and the churches to the municipalities.

They alleviate the money the state will have to disburse.

I will let you dig regarding when and why this happened.

I could care less if it is a catholic church or even a Westboro baptist church.

It has priceless treasures, 800+ years of architecture, it's the symbol of Paris and it is the most awe-inspiring construction I have ever been fortunate enough to experience.

If the catholics won't pay, the French will and I'd willingly chip in.

The Catholic Church does not own the church, why would it pay?

It’s up to the state.

If it’s over 3000 towns, they might have enough members to put one member per Town.

If it’s more, we can always bomb their boat again.

It's owned by The French Ministry of Culture but used by the catholic church.

Seeings as they are hardly cash-strapped why would they not want to contribute ?

I'm sure SJWs will join the cause but I missed the old days when Environmentalists used to chain themselves to trees

The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was pretty Metal AF by France.
