    Default Recent Orthodox Church Fires

    At the risk of hearing cheers for the trollish mentalities of those who bare a brutal and unabiding hatred towards religion or with the gamer mentality that geek out at the calamitous misfortune of others, I'm still going to post this, because it bothers me much.

    Five fires within the last year. This one http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fires-or...hapel-complex/in the Flatiron District of New York and yeah, it is impressive as disasters do go, for it truly looks "apocalyptic".

    It also mentions the two in Sydney [[Macedonian) and Melbourne [[Greek). The press is very dismissive as to these being connected, saying it was candles being used during the Orthodox Easter celebration [[but if you see the way that fire is shooting out the top porticule window, you'd swear that wasn't candles but some kind of accelerant like airline fuel), and if so, why did these very old buildings all wait until now to catch terminally ablaze from the same mere candles used for decades upon decades?

    At least one source asks it: http://gothamist.com/2016/05/03/chur...ia_croatia.phpWhat this has to do with Pope Francis baffles me, but it is something I now have to research, now. I think that it is interesting that the Jasenovac Research Institute takes a considering stance on this [[for Jasenovac as mentioned in history-scope thishttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaseno...entration_camp).

    The Valaam Monastery in Russia also caught fire, but all I can find is this video.https://www.rt.com/news/341548-valaa...ire-helicopter

    Last year, the Novodevichy Convent Tower in Moscow burned. http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...ower-in-moscowNow that has history!-with guys like Gogol, Prokofiev, Shostakovitch-all buried there along with some former Soviet leaders whose corpses probably have a higher blood alcohol level now than all I ever achieved cumulative in my lifetime.

    People can blame anyone from religion-haters, Croats, Muslims, Terrorists, or even Japanese cultists [[Australia has got a few-see Fortean Times January 2002), and if this trend continues, I will have to wonder.

    I'm sure synagogues were "casually catching fire" in the Germany of the early 30's, but by the end of that decade it was openly reported as thishttp://www.upi.com/Archives/1938/11/...4084783841114/.
