The tree did nothing to deserve that... in Mark's account it's mentioned that figs weren't in season. So it's not like the poor thing could help it.
And they say Jesus is loving and forgiving...
Oh, my glob...
This is the #1 reason not to be a Christian?
What if your neighbor cuts down a tree and does not give you a reason, does he then become a 'bad' person to you?
Jesus cursed this tree to illustrate a point about 'fruitless' followers. It was a warning to not 'be a follower' of Christ and not do anything.
Just incase you still don't understand Jesus killed the tree so people could understand what would happen to them if they say they are one thing (Christian/fig tree) and not produce the 'fruit' of what they say they are supposed to be.
The number one reason not to be a Christian is because it's untrue. The same reason as not be a scientologist, Mormon, pagan etc etc etc.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
