Anger is counterproductive and self-destructive.Only if that's how you let anger control you. I have always used my anger to motivate me to be a better person than all the assholes that piss me off. All of the civil rights movements used anger to motivate people to take action that actually made a positive difference in the world. Anger is a powerful motivator. Do not underestimate it.
That is an excellent point. I don't underestimate it, I fear it.

I wouldn't call it angry, I mean it's angry sometimes, but not an anger that pervades your life (unless you let it). I see no usefulness whatsoever in any kind of theist faith (deism is fine by me on most accounts), and I wish to see them gone.
I'm with you all the way up to your last point. Girly couldn't give less of a shit whether someone wants to cede their responsibility of making their own metaphysics or not.
