Originally posted by Black LungOff the top of my head, I can't recall much about JC and anger management that's positive.

Does JC offer any advice on Anger Management?
Proverbs 19 advises the reader/listener to let the rage-prone go ahead and screw themselves over, because they'll do it eventually anyway, regardless of how much you try to help them.
If you want to make that JC-specific, I suppose that the whole scene where Jesus gets mad and overturns moneychanging tables in the Temple is an object lesson. Pissing off the devotees of the temple cult didn't work out so well for him.

What does a guy have to do to get crucified around here! 🙂
Didn't work out well for Jesus, no. For those who believe in him, yes.
