That is an excellent point.

But most arent Christians and most dont understand Christs teachings or why thing contrary to them cannot be included as fundamentally or even partially Christian.
99% of those claiming to be Christians arent, they are Judeochistians serving old testament laws in direct opposition to Christs teachings, which is why the old testsment religions are at war with Jesus and his true followers

Most people, throughout history, are not religious.

Once upon a time, they were forced to attend religious services.

Now they don't bother, except for some sacraments and maybe holidays.

But somewhere, deep inside, they recognize their soul.
It's a secular age.

It is a historical monument and part of their history that's why and tourists visit every year. Historical monuments bring in tourist money and strip malls and boxy plain new Mega Churches don't. No one goes to see some ugly plain boring modern building built within the last 50 years.

I will always remember the new Baptist church I used to go to was so plain, boring and institutional looking it made a new school look more exciting in comparison.

You will never see tourists wanting to visit some new housing development where all the houses are boxy, plain cookie cutter looking and there is some big sprawling new Walmart and new ugly modern Mega Church to house all the fat suburbanites and their big fat SUVs. Tourists go where there is lots of history and the buildings have style and are pretty and that's generally not most modern North American towns that all look alike. Homogeneity doesn't sell. People want different cultures not sameness every where they go.

Well, it did take over two hour of burning before they were able to use their fire hoses. Just a little too late about caring. No point in burning down their whole city. Now they can start collecting donations for another 186 years to rebuild. "If you rebuild it, they will come" Maybe they'll just build a Mosque over the top Notre Dame and call it good.

There is no France in the sense of an entity that can care about anything.

There are French people and there is a French state.
Nations are abstractions.

Why the French who aren't Catholic care?

The NDdP is a heritage site, a national monument.
It is a great work of art and engineering.
Testament to human creativity and ingenuity.
It's one of the things that make France France.

I tend to agree. I think the fundies and the die-hard atheists have a lot in common and miss the point. To most people, it's not about the dogma, rather the social aspect.

Regardless, the cathedral is a landmark. A major part of French history since the 1200s. It's a big deal.

Not just tourism, it's a national treasure of sorts. They'd feel the same way if the Eiffel Tower (a non-religious hunk of metal) suddenly started to melt.

I think it spiritually represents something very important - that the truth matters not to most people.
Give them an impressive looking 'church building' filled with religious pomp and pageantry and all is ok. Never mind that it's filled with Freemason Rosicrucian serpent symbology and never preaches the true Jesus, the true gospel and the true way.

Re: Why does France care about Notre Dame when it doesn't care about Jesus Christ?
This seems to be a very good question, apparently.

But the truth is that NO ONE on earth REALLY care about Jesus Christ since NO ONE has really met him, physically, in the modern era, to hear and understand what he has to say...TODAY!

Note that the Book of Revelation, written just less a century after the four Gospels, revealed to John what these Gospels didn't tell! Imagine what Christ would have to say...after so many changes and centuries, especially since science has come.

MANY people have some ideas and interpretations about who Jesus Christ really is and what is HIS truth. But just THAT...ideas and interpretations.

What makes France, and some European and Mediterranean countries, different from many others all over the world, regarding Jesus Christ, is its early history. France is few days from Palestine by ancient boats. So, the 'vibration' of Christ is FAR MORE present in France than the USA, for example.

And history made it a high place of faith, especially through kings and monks. Remember that French cathedrals were built for tens of years, and even centuries. It means that most of the architects and workers of the Middle-Age knew they wouldn't see them finished. THAT'S faith in Christ. This is this emotion that moved people all over the world, especially the French.

So, Notre Dame belongs to this early Christian history and became a great symbol of the European, and of course, French culture.

France and England have evangelised USA and Canada (people coming from Europe), not the other way around. Spain did it for South America. But, nodaways, the 'teenagers' always think to be smarter than their parents. A sign of the end, surely...

After many wars of religion, Europe (and France) has understood lessons that the fundamentalists have not understood yet. Dogmas and 'truth' are over since they are but interpretations.

Now, the renewal (not revival) of the faith in Christ will come soon...but not the way 99% of people think it will come. The fire of Notre Dame is nothing but a great sign of this change of paradigm...coming from France.
