Well actualy, it was the conducting of business enterprise in the Temple Christ seemed to take a violent issue with, he showed that even to him sometimes violence is an acceptable response. Regarding taxes, his "give unto Ceaser what is Ceasers" did not condemn the practice, he even cured the child of a tax collector who had faith. I wonder what he would do in a "family Planning" center where late term abortions were being performed? Use the Vac on the practioner? (Not a thumper, although I can find truths in the Teachings of Christ) Stuntman
