Going round the mountain

God ... Whoever SHE is
I conclude SHE is Ineffable = incapable of being expressed or described in words; inexpressible:

So I have a challenge when someone can explain the nature of something which is indescribable or unutterable

I believe anger can be and should be prevented, as often as humanly possible.
"Remember, you can't eliminate anger—and it, wouldn't be a good idea if you could. In spite of all
your efforts, things will happen that will cause you anger; and sometimes it will be justifiable anger.
Life will be filled with frustration, pain, loss, and the unpredictable actions of others.
You can't change that; but you can change the way you let such events affect you.
Controlling your angry responses can keep them from making you even more unhappy in the long run."

Anger is a HUMAN thing...
One of the oldest and most universal of HUMAN traits is to anthropomorphise i.e. to ascribe human form or attributes to things that are not human.
So naturally in the literature we have an angry God, this is a legacy of primitive anthropomorphism applied to the ineffable elements and events totally outside their comprehension.
I find the use of someone who has been raped as an example of justifiable anger a VERY dangerous anchor to programme a community with.

I don't know what God is and as a HUMAN I accept it is most improbable I ever will.

As the shadow can never know the substance
And the spark disappears in the fire
Our divinity, unquestioned as it is
Is nothing more than a mote in God's eye
We are truly great and so
Imagine how unspeakably great
How Ineffable the Divine

To strive to comprehend the incomprehensible is a task to:
occupy the fool
and be
avoided by the wise
It is more intoxicating than strong wine and
more contagious than the plague

The greatest gift is the greatest challenge is the only challenge
KNOW THYSELF
God will reveal herself when she's good and ready ;-)
