You believe in Karma?
What would it be Karma for?
Oh go on stretch your imagination. Do you think the Catholic church in France ever did anything evil?
I am just pointing out the memories associated with his building are not all righteous. It's still a tragedy but if I was one of those tortured or maltreated by the powers behind this symbol, maybe it going up in flames is appropriate.
I am not saying that to downplay what happened, just give another perspective we forget and maybe should not. The bottom line is it's a material symbol and the real importance are the souls who went in and out of it, not the building itself. Christ warned not to confuse materiality with sprituality? He warned of the dangers of idol worship. Maybe we would not forget it's just a building at one level and that what really counts are the souls of its visitors who can meet anywhere or look in ourselves to do good deeds. We don,' t need a particular building to do that.
I of course am in awe of its beauty. However it's not a replacement for the magnificence that can be found in each soul. For a Jew
I get much appreciate that gospel from Jesus about the Temple being within us. It is a classic lesson of both our religions.
I think sometimes we get too caught up with statutes, for, etc. I appreciate the beauty of it but then also question why do we need to focus on material things to feel God?
