I liked the story where Jesus killed the fig tree after discovering figs weren't in season when he was hungry 
I understand it was an illustration of how if you have enough faith you can do anything, but it seemed an absurd choice of action. I can appreciate it being used as a demonstration of what he was trying to teach, but why kill it? Couldn't the same lesson be taught by making the tree bear fruit out of season rather than killing it?
