I wont say its a sin and all, its a part of your emotion there is nothing worng in getting angry. but getting angry for small small things and all is very bad... since its off no use and you may also affect the other person mentally. so its bad.

I don't think it is sinful or invariably wrong. But I do think that it can have a negative effect on oneself and if possible should be avoided. I speak from personal experience on it as there was a single person I constantly hated and was angry with when I was forced to have some level of interaction with them. And since I have been removed from contact with them my general spirits and happiness has improved since that time.

It's not a sin, it's a totally natural emotion the humans feel. The sin will be to give in and let anger rule your life. The sin will be letting anger win over forgiveness and understanding.

Anger is not a sin. As other members pointed out, it's merely a natural human emotion.
What the Bible means is that we should not commit a sin while we are angry. I.e.- getting agressive or abusive in any kind of way. We should be able to hold ourselves in that situation.

I'm feeling masochistic today so I'm wondering what about your take on Jesus overturning the tables in the temple out of anger. There was a discussion in this thread on it but it never got anywhere.

I'm not Christian, thus I don't feel obligated to reply.

Just so long as your angry about something Satan made you do, then its o.k. because Jesus will forgive you, and God knows that Satan is solely responsible for all evil deeds.

Not sure how hard it is to get them, but maybe it would be a good idea to put up an option to pick a logo representing your religion or fill out an area where you say what it is. I know a few forums that have stuff like that. It can be helpful when debating on religion.
