In the aftermath of the Notre-Dame cathedral fire, I have these observations and questions:

What reason will xtians invent to explain why gawd inflicted such dammage on such ancient and sacred building during the week prior to easter?

Billionaires and countries are pledging funds totalling more than 1B euros currently for the rebuild, this before the insurance assessment and pay out is not completed. The catholic church being so wealthy, do they actually need financial help? (doesn't the cathedral generate profits?)

There is currently not enough large mature oak trees in France to replace the wooden roof structure, called the forest. With the current state of our environment and forest around the world, rebuilding that structure out of old growth trees would be in itself an environmental impact hard to ignore.

Come to think of it is the cathedral still a place of worship or more a tourist attraction? Is the rebuilding a pious religious necessity or an economical one?

enquiring mind wants to know (not!)
