\"angerbn2\"<\/a>Tony insisted he doesn’t have an anger problem. Yet, by all accounts, people say he does. I asked Tony to answer these 10 questions. After taking the quiz and talking with me, he changed his mind.<\/p>\n

See how well you do at understanding anger. Answer True or False<\/strong> to each question.<\/p>\n

1) As long as I don’t look or sound angry, I am not.<\/p>\n

2) If I ignore anger long enough, it will go away.<\/p>\n

3) If I punch something or throw something, I will feel less angry.<\/p>\n

4) Anger is shameful and not part of a healthy person.<\/p>\n

5) It is OK to keep the peace. That is what God wants.<\/p>\n

6) If I express anger, my relationships will be in danger.<\/p>\n

7) Women don’t get angry, just upset.<\/p>\n

8) Christians should not get angry.<\/p>\n

9) God understands that sometimes I just lose control.<\/p>\n

10) As long as I didn’t mean to get angry, it is OK.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you answered TRUE to any of these questions, you need to rethink what you know about anger. All the answers are FALSE.<\/p>\n
