If we understand that we have a natural aggression which is aggravated by the inevitable frustrations life, and amplified by the increasing controls of civilization, that we use each other and ourselves as scapegoats, that the deepest aspect of our anger is in the face of innocent suffering and injustice, and that the often unrecognized but primary object of our anger is toward God, then we are at that very center of Christianity asking the question to which the crucifixion of Christ is the answer.
-C. Fitsimmons Allison, Guilt, Anger, and God, p. 86.
