Jesus would have overturned the tables of the money changers! Why no tort reform?
I agree. This image the ignorant have of a peacenik Jesus is insulting. Jesus was a staunch activist and leader. He was charismatic and quite hubris at times. He spoke out against all sorts of injustices and also emphasized self reliance and accountability. His activism was not directed toward politics per say, but it was, in the end, the politicians (as high priests in cohorts with the Roman government) that felt threatened by authority Jesus' leadership earned.
