Jesus was a pussy for caring about people.

MAGA literally thinks empathy is a negative human trait.

I read a book recently (I think the title was "Termination Shock") where right wing people in the US had a weird christian religion that portrayed Jesus as "weak" or "woke".

I saw a post on Reddit saying that Jesus was not a pacifist.

It's the bible. There are parts of it where he probably isn't. That's the beauty of the bible. You just gotta find that one verse to pander your views

Well he DID flip a table and whip a bunch of people this one time. That's not very pacifist of him.

It was passover - when many people made a pilgrimage to what is now the Dome of the Rock, but at the time was The Second Temple - Jesus and disciples arrived to find it full of livestock and cattle traders and Money Changers (converting Roman denarri and Greek drachma into shekels).

It's significant because a) it represents the power of religion over commerce, and b) because it fulfills a prophesy earlier in the Bible

They had set up a (kind of) market inside of a church

Selling stuff in a church or something? I don't remember, but he didn't supposedly deal with it in a very pacifist manner.
