    So why did he throw the money changers out of the temple then?

    Why is it harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for a camel to pass through the wye of a needle?

    And why do you think communism means no work and only handouts?

    the money changing was Babylonian money magick, of which was the reason they were thrown out

    A. Where did you hear that it was Babylonian money? Babylon had fallen ~500 years earlier, so I doubt there'd be any of their money left in use. B. Jesus talks about the temple become "a den of robbers". That doesn't sound like the only issue was the choice of currency

    the whole point was to accept handouts for those who didn't work

    Ignoring for now the fact that that's far from the point, what's so bad about "handouts"? Sure, if you refuse to work you shouldn't expect to be given a mansion or something, but that's not what anyone is seriously saying. The "handouts" that leftists talk about is stuff like food and basic housing. The idea is that your right to live is based on your value as a person, not your productivity as a worker.

    Are you telling me that all or most people who get help from the government are lazy people who don't want to work? The socialism policies are implemented to maintain people lives and sanity so they can try to improve their situations
