I just turned on 20/20, and they are talking about the seven deadly sins. At the moment they are talking about Vanity.

Re: I do not believe that is always the case... -- Phil from AZ, 01:57:48 07/21/07 Sat [1] (71-223-21-236.phnx.qwest.net/71.223.21.236)

I believe that there are times when anger is justified. When Jesus overturned the tables at the temple, is 1 such case. Acc to the Bible, he also scolded his followers on a few occasions. Sometimes, it is our duty as Christians to rail against iniquity and injustice.

In short, I do not believe that RIGHTEOUS anger is a sin. However, it must be applied in small doses, lest we chase away folks with our constant rants and raves. Folks who act that way all the time are seldom taken seriously, are they?

Take care, God Bless,

Phil from not-so-angry AZ
