They are indoctrinated for years. Same in Germany where I come from. People have no self esteem. We are told to be guilty for what ever happens in the world.

I know. Whenever I meet with my German friends our discussions usually end on these topics. They're convinced that losing German traditions and culture is inevitable, that it is "part of life" and that it's normal for a progressive and globalized society. To me, this is worse than communism. Yes, communists destroyed thousands of churches and brutally murdered tens of thousands of priests, but they did it openly for all to see. People lived in fear. That is why they kept their faith throughout that time and Christianity has revived so rapidly in Russia. Both of my parents were baptized in secret, back in the early 1960s, in the height of the Cold War, and they lived in different parts of the USSR. Whereas in Europe, people have been indoctrinated stealthily to reject their faith, their traditions, culture and identity in the name of democracy, freedom, progress and tolerance. What's saving Europe today is the impatience of the left. They've been pushing their agenda too fast and for that reason we are beginning to see a rise of patriotism. Because Europeans still know and remember what true Europe is like; without all the refugees, without muslims everywhere, without the trashed and filthy streets, without the fear of being mugged, knifed or raped if you walk alone in the evening, without the excessive tolerance and without being submissively apologetic for all that's wrong in this world. Imagine if these changes were imposed at a more gradual pace? Without this contrast, without any memory that such Europe once existed. That, would have been the end. But as long as this memory exists, there's still hope.

You are right. I have hope. We remember too much to give up. I loved going out without fear. I live in a small town but I also used to live in Munich many years ago.
I've seen the differences and I didn't like it. The streets were safer in the town I grew up. I miss my grandparents but I'm also glad they don't have to experience the time we live in now. They wouldn't understand. Old and white is no wanted combination these days.

God sends signs several times before cleaning up (like the ten biblical plagues).

Another accident ofcourse...darn Christian places of worship are accident prone all of a sudden. Poor Charles Marte, rolling in his grave at the state of France, such dishonor they do upon him letting the Muslim hordes just waltz right in

The one with the guts to call out the real perpetraters was Charlie Hebdo. And we know what happened to them. If you speak out you will be silenced. The elites will play along as usual with the enemy.

I assume it's "faulty electric installation" or something similar again? Cough cough...just another randomly burning church between hundreds of other randomly burning churches...
