Jesus Struck by Lightning

I was not at the Tschumi lecture last night. I was watching the presentation of an other immunity idol.
And on the rebuilding of the Temple, the occurrence of earthquakes also (suppossedly) kept the workmen away from the site. Christian zealotry or not, the rebuilding work ceased, and to this day the Temple remains destroyed.
Christian zealotry during the mid fourth century was indeed feirce, and there is at least one ducumentation of Christian terrorism against a Jewish synagogue during the reign of Theodosius (late 4th cent.). Bear in mind, however, that the Christian mission of the period was much more focused on destroying Paganism, a mission, moreover, that is still exercised today. It is the pagan temples of the world that Christianity really obliterated.
