For me it is the "fall of the Berlin wall" and the celebrations after the border openings.

Jesus throwing the conmen out of the church.

I don't care for the religion, but if this actually happened, it would be so satisfying to see. So-called "christians" act more like the ones he kicked out than their supposed "lord" himself.

Matthew 23 is Jesus absolutely bitching out the religious leaders "Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger."

As you say, the so-called 'Christians' really act like the Pharisees in the Bible that is called out against. If the bible they claim to believe in is true, then a loooooooooooooooooot are probably going to be in for a rude awakening because they were warned in the same book, Chapter 7 verse 23 when the person they claim to follow says "I never knew you."

There's a quote attributed to Ghandi but it's not verified to actually be by him. But is a very appropriate one in my day to day "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
