Anger is just one of many emotions surrounding the balloon boy hoax. Last Thursday afternoon, much of America paused to pray for the safety of Falcon Heene, who was reportedly inside a homemade aircraft floating high above Colorado, powered by helium and capable of reaching 10,000 feet.

When is anger justified? When God is mad, too. Yes, that’s right – God gets angry with his children’s unrighteous behavior just like a good father should. Surely God was angry with the choices of Richard Heene, who on this day was a not-so-good father, having conjured up this publicity stunt and, with his wife, led his three boys to participate in lying to the press, the police and the public.
