This article was written by someone mighty ignorant.
For example, Jesus, "as I understand it", "occupied" his own house when he occupied the temple. He kicked out the money changers who did not belong there. He did not impose his will on others, but used pacifistic reason. He did not represent anywhere near 99% of the people in that area at the time. The "christians" were a minority. He believed in rendering unto Ceasar the things that were Ceasar's and to God the things that were God's.
Yes, BB, "bullshit" is quite appropriate.
Like we've said before, liberals will use anything they can to further their agenda, regardless of the truth or consequences.
Merry Christmas to all honest men and women of good will.
"Kicked out" is not "pacifistic reasoning".
Overthrowing the tables is not either.
Using a scourge of small cords is not either.
Pouring out the money is not either.
"And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise" (John 2:13-16).

There are 10 versions that use "threw out'.
Six versions use "drove out".
Two versions use "cast out".
It was a Jewish Temple.
The money changers were Jews.
He was a Jew.
The vast majority of members of the community were Jews.
It was on Jewish holiday.
But is not a matter of whether the people were Jewish or Christian. It's the fact that the Bible tells us that Jesus stood up for the powerless against the powerful. And would today.
