Every mega church has a gift shop. Tax free. Not sure if they sell doves. If you read the Coptic gospels, the kid Jesus had some problems adjusting to his superpowers. So much so the other parents went to Mary and Joesph and cancelled the play dates. But, being God’s son, you can wither roots when your fast food order takes too long.

Dude, its just Cheez-its™, take a chill pill! I mean, sure- I guess I could do all that, but at some point my disciples are gonna sit me down and tell me to cut down on my coffee intake... <blockquote> and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.</blockquote> Imagine, some poor dude just trying to get a Goliath action figure for his kid for for christmas- the special edition action figure with separate javelin and armor, he beat the crowds and got the last one and he's on his way out the door when some wild-eyed fig feuding lunatic violently stops him from leaving, so he has to turn around and trudge through the temple to find another exit, finally he gets to the exit between the Panda Express, and Payless sandals and realizes that its on the other side of the mall from where he parked his chariot. And its only when he finally gets back to his chariot that he remembers he forgot to pick up the frankincense his wife asked him to get. Jesus, what a pain in the ass!

15 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts.
