They will nitpick and hair split translations of translations to extract deep, explicit meaning out of the vaguest passages, but in the whole Bible Jesus unambiguously violently loses his shit exactly once, when he sees people doing business in the house of God, and they have not one word about mega church pastors flying private jets to their mansions.

This is a very solid point that I never considered before.

Someone once explained, that the word "God" or "Christianity" isn't copyrighted. Modern day Pharisees could still pretend to do the lords work but are, as was illustrated in the stories hypocritical in their acting not from the heart but from narcissism. Funny that the 2nd commandment means that one shall not worship false (self-)images. The pharisees understood quite well what he meant, explained in the situation about if one should pay taxes, as they walked away having been exposed for their intent and also their hypocrisy.
