I am not against righteous anger. I am talking about the useless arguing that has been going back and forth. It does not further us toward our cause of getting closer to God. I am not talking about the defense of what people believe. Go for it defend your faith. Call a person a liar if they are a liar. But the constant back and for "I know you are but what am I?" arguments need to stop. I don't think that has anything to do with righteous anger.
