    Even Jesus had his heated moments. Going by the stories, didn’t Jesus fly into a rage and literally flip tables just because he didn’t like seeing people making money in a temple?

      It wasn’t just people making money, it was that the money changers and the temple were working together to fleece the devout who were coming from far away to show their faith.

      It’s not like if somebody had a for-profit Cafe inside a church, it’s more like the televangelist that use other peoples’ devotion to get rich, saying you have to pay more and more to get into heaven.
