Yeah. Jesus is kind of a jerk in this. I mean, he didn't drive anyone out with a whip or anything, but still.

"I come with a sword." -- "Blessed are the peacemakers." All this in between cursing fig trees for not being in season and making pigs suicidal during his downtime. I need more LSD to understand the Gospels.
Not to mention curing lepers without their permission and leaving them without a trade.
