FIRE!

[IainH]

Egad! I watched the Notre Dame Cathedral fire feetage today and I had the same reaction to it as I did on 9/11. I worked second shift and I got to sleep in that morning because Nana and Papa had our then 9 month old son, I woke up around 11:00am and turned on the TV while I got my coffee. The FNC was showing the towers collapsing etc and I thought I was watching a movie at first and then it started to sink in. Anyway, it gave me the same surreal feeling when I saw the spire collapse and thought "mmm... ain't that symbolic of the collapse of Christianity in Western Europe over the last century" well that sums it up, my actual thunk rattled around a bit before it coalesced. I'm incapable of organized critical thinking without pen and paper or discussing it out loud with the me's. I quit Reason as a guide, it's a big fat liar pbssshw! It's okay to have the trait of being reasonable or being rational obeying God's commands that originate from Him to ones heart. Like using arithmetic. To obey an irrational, from the human viewpoint, command from God is altogether reasonable. Such statements make Reason Christians livid. I know because I used to say stuff like that on Wednesday nights knowing that it would trigger a response from one particular dude, every time. Mmm... I haven't been in a while, I  think I'll go just to raise Dwight's BP, yes definitely. He could use a good apoplexy. It may just be coincidence but, it's statistically provable that; 1919 was the beginning of the end of C in W E. Christianity is dead in Europe and it will never be back. Europe is the religion of Europe. The dominant Faith in WE is Islam. I know of one person that I went to school with who I can say is one of us in practice, although I am not sure he is aware of it. God says so. The Last Christian in Britain, now there's a BBC documentary title for ya! I can hear it in that weird English TV speak "The Lahst Christian in BRItain" emphasis on the first syllable of the lahst WIIIRD or on the last word if the lahst word has only one SYLLable.
