I hate to say it, and it had a good run, but Christianity is a cucked religion. To be specific, the non-cucked elements of Christianity have been eliminated.
Historically, Christianity has ALWAYS had an emphasis on poverty, charity, etc. There has ALWAYS been a tension between the feminine and the masculine in Christianity. The masculine has been rooted out, and the feminine dominates.
Go to your average Protestant church in America today. Listen to the sermon. Chances are the description of Jesus given by the church makes him sound like a real dreamboat; the perfect boyfriend! He's gentle, and caring, and loving, meek and mild. The "edgy" parts of Jesus, his anger, his righteousness, and his harsh attacks on the elites of his day are gone. Revelations and the amazing Christian mysticism is gone. Not PC. Eliminated. It's pretty much part of the narrative today that Jesus would be a democrat and a socialist and yadda yadda yadda.
I've always considered myself culturally Christian but I've never been a practicing Christian. Several years ago I tried to find a church for my family. I couldn't deal with it. My wife was grew up Catholic. She stopped attending church--hasn't been back a single time--since she found out her childhood priest spent several years fondling boys.
Only God's anger is righteous. Jesus was a man, like us. (also not like us, being begotten of God, but you understand what I'm saying)
We are not to be angry, because we are not gods ourselves and cannot judge with our own judgment, only God's judgment. All we can do is discern evil, and forgive. That's not to say we can't take action like flip tables either, just not out of anger. Personally, I interpreted that as Jesus making a point about wrongdoing, in the same way that you might condemn someone's actions or rebuke them without necessarily feeling anger towards them. I might take a drunk's beer and smash the bottle on the ground, or destroy a junkie's needle, and not feel strongly about it one way or another. I just see that something needs to be done and do it.
Hate is the opposite of love, and anger is only another word for hatred. People like to tone down words to make them more palatable. Like you might see "resentful" or "bitter" instead of "angry" or "hateful", but the spirit is the same.
Ephesians 4:31-32 is clear imo:
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

How sad.
That’s mostly because men have failed and bailed out on society, giving control over to women. Btw Jesus never had anger.
Anger. I always figured that when Jesus overturned the money changer's tables at the Temple that he had righteous anger. I could be wrong.
