5. The only time Jesus displayed anger

was with a bunch of money-grubbin' bastids. Conservatroids conveniently forget that perhaps 1/3 of the things Jesus said were related to money. Teh gay? Nada.

6. except for the fig tree he killed

in Mark 11: 14. What is up with that?

Charles Stanley explains it thus: "Jesus meant it to picture God's displeasure with a people who appeared religious, but whose lives remained barren of the fruits of godliness."
