 * The Forerunner Commentary on Psalms 137:2 argues that these psalms are about the "bitterness of exile into which God forced Judah", purportedly with the goal of turning grief into zeal, so that the "anger can be used to scour away sin" by becoming "righteously indignant". In Richard T. Ritenbaugh's comments on Proverbs 15:18 in How to Survive Exile, he argues that it "is alright for us to be righteously indignant as long as we do not sin." In McCosh's book Motive Powers, he notes that "We may be angry and sin not; but this disposition may become sinful, and this in the highest degree. It is so when it is excessive, when it is rage, and makes us lose control of ourselves. It is so, and may become a vice, when it leads us to wish evil to those who have offended us. It is resentment when it prompts us to meet and repay evil by evil. It is vengeance when it impels us to crush those who have injured us. It is vindictiveness when it is seeking out ingeniously and laboriously means and instruments to give pain to those who have thwarted us. Already sin has entered."

 * St. Thomas Aquinas, in the question on anger of his Summa Theologiae, quotes the Opus Imperfectum in Matthaeum, "he that is angry without cause, shall be in danger; but he that is angry with cause, shall not be in danger: for without anger, teaching will be useless, judgments unstable, crimes unchecked," and concludes saying that "to be angry is therefore not always an evil."

Nothing about the ship name?
I am a little surprised that there is no mention of the ship's name from "Bucky O'Hare". Not notable enough? Merleblue (talk) 17:47, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Old Testament Bible commentary
"Old Tesstament commentary" starting with Paul's letter to the Ephesians? Clearly out of place. The other references for "Old Testament commentary, the Forerunner Commentary and James McCosh are obscure and outside the mainstream of contemporary scholarship.

Redirect with resentment
To me, this really just sounds like a section on resentment. Hopefully, someone could make a redirect to resentment, and include all this info as a subsection (I have no idea how to do this, currently; and I would want consensus, if I was going to do this). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Robot 2020 (talk • contribs) 10:16, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
