Biblical stories get used for all kinds of things.   I don't know if Jesus literally drove them out or it was intended as story about dangers of mixing a spiritual life with the pursuit of money.    If literal, Jesus did not kill or maim any of the venders as far as the story goes, he did get angry   

Jesus was fully human, he got tired, he got angry, he loved his family and friends.  Many Christians seem to be afraid of making him too human,  I find it comforting.   We'd probably get along fine on this Motley,   I don't have the answer for others, I can just relate my own experience.
