Gee, what a dream it would be if soldiers walked around with whips on their belts instead of AK-47s. The world might actually be a nicer place.
On the other hand, can you imagine Christ unloading an automatic weapon on that temple, or dropping an atom bomb on it from above? Probably not. In no way do these kind of actions demonstrate unconditional love for humanity, or God for that matter. Unless your middle name is "Crusader..."
