I think it's a natural reaction to get angry. Sometimes it deals with insecurities we have with ourselves. Anger I don't believe to be a sin, but what you do out of anger is another. If when you are angry, you are hateful, spiteful, and destructive, I believe you're going down the wrong path. But if when you are angry, you know to walk away, cool down, re-analyze what got you into the mood you are in, you'll realize we have a lot more control than we might believe.

If you hurt people in your anger, always, and do it with intent of hurting, that's what matters. Your intentions.

Anger is a perfectly natural human emotion. It is the actions fueled by the anger that matter.

Right. Emotions are not really within our control to have, but our actions while under such influence make a difference. I'd say, if you are going to do something destructive/dangerous while you are angry, only do it if you still want to once you are no longer angry.

Anger can be a very positive thing.

I don't see how anger can be a positive thing. Forgiveness.


I think all this has been covered in this thread, but no, anger is not a sin as it's a natural emotion. But like at least one other member said, it's the actions that one chooses to act on anger which that those are sin. Wow, that last sentence made no sense grammatically, did it? Too bad, deal with it.

I think constructive would be a better word than positive. The slaughter of animals for food and sport angers me so I don't eat meat and do what I can to promote better conditions for the animals. Anger is often the reason behind major social changes. It's a necessary emotion.

Exactly. Anger inspires me. That's why it's positive.
