This world totally sucks except for that which still exists that God made good. Prophecy distinctly indicates that God is going to deal with this rigid existence that has been systematically applied to man by man manipulated. And I hope he does. Soon.

Isnt wrath a sin?
Depends if it's righteous wrath or unrighteous wrath. If you saw a woman being raped in an alley and went into a rage to stop the assault that would be righteous anger/wrath.

I don't think righteous wrath/anger is a sin, it can be if the person doesn't end it quickly. The precedent I showed above is that we shouldn't let the sun go down in our anger (for a just cause as Jesus said). To me that means if we don't release the anger after the righteous situation that warrants it is over with.
There are horrible things that happen in this world we live in, and if they don't make a righteous man angry then there is something wrong. Especially abuse to women or children.
NOTurTypical: What the Hell are you talking about? There is a such thing as righteous anger, and I give a simple example of something that should make any righteous man angry.
NOTur: If there was no such thing as righteous anger then Jesus sinned when He drove out the money changers. The Bible says it's a sin to be angry WITHOUT CAUSE, and not to go to bed with that anger.

Well, I'm a Christian so in my life Jesus defines what is sin and what isn't, and He said not to be angry with someone without cause. And He was without sin, yet the Bible records Him angry several times for righteous reasons. He overturned the money changer tables, and had some pretty intense arguments with the Pharisees.
I actually think it's immoral and cowardly to see people being hurt in front of you and you do nothing about it or are indifferent to it.

What? You don't like the world your god made for you? It isn't good enough? You want god to come back and kill everyone to make you happy? What a twisted #!! Why are the most outspoken christians on this site so full of doom and anger? Why do you hate the world so much? You'd think being able to speak to god on the daily, and being his special snowflake would make you happy? But nah.... That's not enough. You gotta kill everyone who disagrees with you, cuz your having a bad day. Holy #in hell man!!!! Get your head out of your ass!!!

God is supposed to know and see everything.
How many rapes has he prevented?
