Why are the usual suspects rushing to blame Islam when the atheists are the ones so eager not to have it rebuilt?
Take a look at social media and you'll see countless sneers of "with the money donated to rebuild that old church we could do so much for the environment!" Just as Judas Iscariot did with the nard. The narrative being pushed is to just let it rot and tear it down.
@jmyrlefuller Don't cast your net so widely. I am an agnostic only because those damn atheists are too anal for me,and I don't like attending meetings.
Having said that,Notre Dame and a lot of the other churches in Europe are cultural and historic buildings as much as they are churches. Even if you don't like the history,they have history to tell.
And speaking as an agnostic,I had PERSONALLY rather see money spent to rebuild and maintain historic sites than to see it spend keeping Muslims housed,medicated,clothed,and fed.
Hell,I would rather see money spent keeping a pack of wild hyenas in Africa kept alive that see it spent to keep Muslims alive. At least the wild dogs serve a purpose.
