For my fellow Christians of /pol/ why on Earth did Jesus curse the fig tree in the Bible? That never made sense to me. What is the purpose of him doing that or the lesson in that passage?
The tree is not a sentient being, so it's not as if it was purposefully spiting Jesus, so why did he act in anger towards the tree?
>Mark 11:12-25
>New International Version
>12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
>13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.
>14 Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
