So the protesters outside St Pauls see themselves in the role of Jesus upsetting the tables of the moneychangers in the temple.
While I applaud the general thrust of their ire - bankers and the like are due a little stick - this may be another example of how good causes are hijacked by those prepared to use any means to justify how they choose to get their jollies without understanding what they are doing or the arguments they are using.
Jesus - as I recall - was hacked off that the temple was not being used as such because all the non religous activity that was taking place made that impossible.
This means guys that you are not on the side of the angels - but are on the same side as the bankers!
