39. "WTF WOULD JESUS DO?????"

Mon Jan 19, 2026, 01:49 PM

Jan 19

As I recall, he went into the temple and destroyed the moneylenders.

Can we expect that from everyone? Because that surely needs to happen around here. The corruption I speak of is a direct cause of where we are now. Greed and Envy. Seems I have heard of those things mentioned in Christian doctrine.

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
— Matthew 21:12–13, King James Version

This is what has happened to our country. It is overrun with moneylenders and merchants. They have turned our once amazing society into a den of thieves. And, their thievery and corruption has created our current regime.

So, who is going to toss the first table?
