I'm no economist, but I can say that I've had a wonderful experience with local banking. In Seattle, I have an account at Washington Mutual - which, don't get me wrong, is a pretty good company. But at my college in Massachusetts, I use a local bank called Easthampton Savings Bank ((
www.bankesb.com)) and it's awesome. I have a free account, but I still get about 3% interest (WAMU gives me some time decimal), they have all sorts of nice free services, the website is good, the people are friendly. It's quite ideal.

Wouldn't he just go in and knock over all the tables?

I think the more important question is:
Where would Jesus bang?

Where would Jesus bank? Why, he'd give his money to the poor.
And really if you stop and think about it, Jesus was really Robin hood.

Well he did say the poor ye have with you always.He never spoke of redistributing wealth through a forced system of govt. Wonder what would happen if the current spate of candidates said that?
To pay the tax ln the temple you had to have a special coin.It is the way they kept control of the money supply.Kind of like today where to buy oil you have to use dollars.
Rome itself vacillated between a small group coining money and lending it out versus Julius Ceaser turning out his own coins to spend upon the people of Rome,but after they benihanaed him it went right back to a small group taking power over the money supply.

Jesus wouldn't need a bank--money just slips through his hands!
*rim shot..and running like hell*

No he takes that staff of his, which turns into a snake, and the snake spits out money. I mean come on!

Well that sounded kinda filthy--
A money spitting snake...I can see the film version now: starring Ron Jeremy as Jesus, Vern Troyer as Little Jesus, Jessica Alba as the woman who loved them both, and Michael Madsen as Pontius Pilate

I've had nothing but trouble since I opened a Bank of America account :(
