This Rambo Jesus represents everything the fundamentalist movement in

Gore Vidal used to make a pretty compelling case that Jesus was a
Rambo type guy.
One example was casting out the money changers (AKA knocking over
Harrod's bank). You don't think the Romans had some kind of security?
It took some muscle to "scatter the coins".

This is just one case where Jesus said "I come not to bring peace, but
to bring a sword".

Harrods is a department store. You're thinking of Herod Antipas, I
think. No relation to Charles Harrod.
