Phil > I did read about the money changers in the Temple. Seems like Jesus wasn't enamoured about them at all. Things aren't too different today, are they?

The irony is, of course, that the people now worship both money and him -- then it was only money. And why shouldn't they? After all, if by saying a few prayers one can have everlasting life, one is stupid not to. Anyway, that was the story -- until Mohammed came along. Now I imagine clients go where they get the best deal -- both here on earth and in the next life. Meanwhile, the same guys that Jesus was complaining about are still busy in the money changing business only now they give paper and call it money. That's why they are known as the "chosen people" -- they were chosen for the job.

> they build their own great temples, such as the World Trade Centre.

And then they knock them down, pretending it was not only one but two terrorist attacks, and get more money from the insurance than the buildings are worth.

>>Someone needs to ask Silverstein some tough questions under oath about what he meant in that statement and how it was possible to demolish Building 7 on September 11th without placing charges in the building prior to the event. <<
