== Anger as a sin ==

In [[Christian]] tradition, anger is one of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]] (the word wrath is often used to describe it in this context). Uniquely among the seven deadly sins, anger was at times exhibited by [[Jesus]] - for example, when He turned the money lenders out of the [[Temple]] in [[Jerusalem]]. Since Jesus was without without sin, this suggests that not every example of anger is sinful: anger on behalf of a righteous cause is permissible, and can even be desirable. On the other hand, anger for selfish or worldly reasons is a step on the path to damnation; famous examples of sinful anger include [[Henry II]]'s ordering of the [[murder]] of Thomas a Beckett, and King [[David]]'s murder of Uriah the Hittite in the Book of [[Samuel]].
