Part of Notre Dame on fire.

Is Quasimodo okay??

Quasimodo? Uh, gee, the name rings a bell, but...

You lose a point because we've already done this joke at work this morning.

"We" missed that meeting.

You obviously haven't been reading your emails.

The invites were sent.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

I'm never invited anywhere.

Is Quasimodo okay??

Well, last I read, he wasn’t actually in the cathedral anymore, and moved to the Gibbet of Montfaucon and shacked up with Esmeralda’s lifeless corpse. No, really, that’s how the book ends. It’s just that every adaptation that doesn’t star Anthony Quinn changes the ending.

One of the reporters mentioned Thomas Aquinas in this story. UGGGGGG, he was a fucking moron. I cannot tell you in 18 years of online debate, how many apologists tried to claim he knew about Quantum Physics back then.

Piece of useless trivia. But it seems in human "capture the flag" when one nation/religion overruns another, we don't always burn it to the ground, but take the defeated structures and convert it to the majority who defeated that minority. You'd be amazed at how many Churches/Mosques/Synagogues were buildings originally built by prior occupants only to be converted to the religions of those who were the victors.

The Parthenon originally started out polytheist of course. But has also been under the rule of both Christians and Muslims.

Even locally where I live, there is a Myrtle Beach Restaurant that was a former church called "The Parson's Table".

"To the victor goes the spoils" Yea well, the universe has no capability of being concerned with the plight of any majority or minority.

Smart ass. I mean God seems to suck at his job.

I wasn't being a smartass.  Your sentence structure was off.

You are talking to an ABBA fan. 

"STRUCTURE, WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT STRUCTURE"

Spoof of Ace Ventura. "Pressure, what would you know about pressure?"

I am imperfect, so sue me.

FFS, I'm listening to live coverage and one of the commentators just literally said that in an increasingly secular Paris, maybe this is remind people of their Christian and holy past.

Fuck that guy.

Notre Dame shouldn't be saved simply because it's a reminder of christianity, it should be saved because of its architectural and engineering beauty, it's artistic value, its historical monumentality, it's aesthetic majesty...

Fuck.
That.
Guy.
