Various commenters on Twitter are using the burning of the beautiful, historic Notre Dame cathedral to further a number of absurd conspiracy theories, ranging from an Anti-Christian arsonist to… actually, that’s the worst of them so far. Conspiracy theories and wild speculation about breaking news are common enough on Twitter, but this one is a cut too deep.

In case you haven’t yet heard, a fire in Notre Dame de Paris has destroyed a large portion of the church today. While firefighters were able to save the towers, at last report the majority of the building is gone. Currently workers are attempting to salvage art still inside the cathedral. Officials have not yet released the cause of the fire, though they have implied it may be connected to the renovation work going on in the cathedral at the time.
