God is big enough to handle any anger directed toward Him. He knows that it is because you don't understand His sovereignty.
It is all a matter of your learning to trust in Him through the bad, as well as the good. As Job said, "...Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips." (Job 2:10)
Remember also, "And we know that he works all things together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28)
It's all a matter of perspective. When we look at all the garbage that happens in this life, in view of eternity, then it doesn't really matter much, and we can get over being mad at God for what He has allowed in our lives.

I think it's in our human nature to be mad at God sometimes. We don't always understand why he does things (or doesn't do things) a certain way or when he doesn't do things our way. I think it's natural to be occassionally mad at God. Like someone else on here said, God can handle our anger, and he can help us through it. Jacob, in the Bible, even "wrestled" with God, yet he was considered a godly man.

Why are you mad at God, Whatever you are mad about, I am sure it is not Gods fault, many times we blame God for things the world creates, we need to sit down and really acess the situation, before we place blame, and work it our, talk to God, don't ever be mad, you have to have a good relationship with The Lord, it seems that would profit satan if you were to be mad at God, and you don't want to go that road.

It is okay to be angry at God because God is powerful enough to deal with. More times than once I was angry at the situation I was in and screamed out and literally let God have it. I said how tired I was of the way things were going. I told him how upset I was about certain things. The thing is, I know that he is listening to me. Afterwards, I was given peace.
God is alot more powerful that your angry outburst, don't you think?

He might have been implying that your relationship with God is what matters.
Being mad at God is a little misplaced, but at least there is a relationship...a connection.

I think within most religions it's accepted to have a "relationship" with God, correct? Any relationship will have its ups and downs. If you believe in God and the Catholic dogma, you're acting within its boundaries.

I don't think it's right to ever be mad at God because you are right he is perfect and doesn't make mistakes. We make our own lives the way they are along with Satan and God only does good things for us.

It truely is okay to be angry at God. If his perfect judgement goes against your opinion, then anger is natural. However, insulting the Almighty is completely different. You shouldn't ever do that.

Because we are imperfect. If we could make sense of everything around us we would be on His level therefore we sometimes struggle with issues that arise that we don't understand. Anger is an emotion and emotions are uniquely human and humans are imperfect.

maybe what he was saying is that God forgives you when you are mad at him, he understands your doubts and fears and anger, and forgives you for them, i do not think he meant to say it is right to be angry at god, just that it is understandable
