The advantage that Christianity has here is that it clearly teaches that anger is a deadly sin.<BR/><BR/>I do want to redirect one of your points, though: "Judging is God's work." <BR/><BR/>Judging people is God's work. Judging sin to be sin is everyone's work. Judgment does not entail anger, not even the judgment of sin. Jesus was the Man of Sorrows. But avoiding judgment, even to avoid anger, does not avoid sin, it just helps it fester.Gruntledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377809238377382438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-1142284458677970562006-03-13T16:14:00.000-05:002006-03-13T16:14:00.000-05:00You make a valid point, and it is a point that goe...You make a valid point, and it is a point that goes in all directions of the spectrum.<BR/><BR/>Feminists who are angry, and there are some, can sometimes use this as a crutch and never see the end of the tunnel, much less any light. That is not a good way to live, nor is it a good way to keep a movement dynamic and working.<BR/><BR/>On another front, there are plenty of anger magnets in the area of "family values" and people claim that they have the market on them just because they are Christians. These people are very angry, at feminists, homosexuals, "liberals" (whatever that means), women who abort or who want the choice to abort (you get my picture). They see the decline of the family, and they don't understand why these people "sin." It must be truly perplexing for people who do literal readings of the Bible to understand. The thing is that their anger is also a crutch, and in the eyes of their God, it is just as much of a sin. Judging is God's work. And, hating people--however it is done, with words, with defamation, with physical violence, and with keeping back basic rights--is VERY BAD. That kind of anger can't make people very happy either, whether it is "righteous" or not. <BR/><BR/>Rage makes "ANYONE" unhappy, whether it be progressive feminists (men or women) or every Sunday Christians.Caranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633487232939635544noreply@blogger.com
