If we are to understand Scripture as it is written, then Jesus described Himself as “meek and humble of heart” and told us to learn that from Him.

It surely seems like YOPIOS to me to describe the parables of Jesus as “satire”. I think that is a stretch.

You don't recognize the meaning of a "smile"?

In any event:

[12] And Jesus entered the temple of God and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. BR>
"Meek"? Wow!
