In reply to: DJ 's message, "anger" on 13:18:58 02/02/02 Sat

God gave us anger for protection. It is a warning system He placed internally to help steer us. He gave us feelings for a reason. And although we shouldn't be totally ruled by our emotions, even Jesus became angry. Today we have the psycho-babble that there is something inherently wrong with anger. We have anger mgmt, anger books, anger this anger that. I'm sure some people do struggle with run-away anger, but its almost looked for under every rock like it were some kind of demon to blame for the ills of society. The problem isn't anger, it is a lack of self-control.

Sincerely :)
