Righteous anger exists in human experience as evidence for divine wrath
Mike uses human moral intuition to establish the category of righteous anger.
Mike argues that humans recognize righteous anger from their own experience — e.g., outrage at child molestation or violent crime. If a person feels nothing at such evils, something may be wrong with them. By analogy, if God feels nothing at human wickedness, something would be wrong with Him. The problem is not that God gets angry; the problem would be if He did not.

Was God’s Wrath Satisfied in Christ or Paid in Hell?
