“There’s your problem - get MAD!”
no.... getting mad is the problem.
Matt 5:22
You have heard that the ancients were told, “YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER” and “Whoever commits murder shall be liable to the court.” But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court, and whoever says to his brother, “You good for nothing” shall be guilty before the supreme court, and whoever says, “You fool” shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.
James 1:20
the anger of man will not achieve the righteousness of GOD
Rom 12:21
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Eph 4:26

Eph 4:31
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

Rom 12:17
17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.
18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.
20 But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Gal 5:19
19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are:
immorality, impurity, sensuality,
20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions,
21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
