In the Bible is an incident in which a furious Jesus entered a temple in Jerusalem, turned everything upside down and chased away merchants and petty traders who had turned the place of worship into a market.
That event depicts a side of Jesus that is far removed from the popular liberal and forgiving persona in which he is mostly portrayed in the scriptures, and demonstrates the importance of protecting the sanctity of the church as a place of devotion to God. It also amplifies a need for vigilance against a creeping acceptance of the absurd as normal in the way man relates to God.
