There are some crimes that outrage society. It often takes the murder of a child to stir a sense of anger in sinful humanity, but God’s wrath is stirred even by hatred, which He considers equivalent to murder. All sins are crimes against God’s Law (1 John 3:4) and are extremely offensive to Him.
The fact that we are made in God’s image can help us to understand His character. We are capable of some of God’s virtues and emotions. We can express love, kindness, and mercy. We are capable of anger, hatred, jealousy, etc. The problem is that we are tainted with sin. God isn’t. His love is perfect. His mercy is great. His jealousy is without sin. His anger is judicial; it is always just right.
“Let such know that Jehovah, the one and only living and true God, is a jealous God, and a revenger; he is jealous for the comfort of his worshippers, jealous for his land (Joel 2:18), and will not have that injured. He is a revenger, and He is furious.
“He has fury (so the word is), not as man has it, in whom it is an ungoverned passion (so He has said, Fury is not in me, Isa. 27:4), but He has it in such a way as becomes the righteous God, to put an edge upon His justice, and to make it appear more terrible to those who otherwise would stand in no awe of it. He is Lord of anger (so the Hebrew phrase is for that which we read, He is furious); He has anger, but He has it at command and under government. Our anger is often lord over us, as theirs that have no rule over their own spirits, but God is always Lord of His anger and weighs a path to it (Psa. 78:50).” Matthew Henry
Ezekiel 5:15 ‘So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a lesson, and an astonishment to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments among you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken.
Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence 
Let’s look at what Ray is saying here.
Ray wrote “It often takes the murder of a child to stir a sense of anger in sinful humanity, but God’s wrath is stirred even by hatred [according to Ray Comfort], which He considers equivalent to murder [according to Ray Comfort]. All sins are crimes against God’s Law (1 John 3:4) [according to Ray Comfort’s interpretation based upon Ray Comfort’s opinion] and are extremely offensive to Him [according to Ray Comfort].
So everything it seems boils down to Ray Comfort’s opinion! And we are supposed to take Ray Comfort’s opinion as evidence.
Let’s look at this another way. If someone else can make me angry or sad then they control my emotional state. Therefore if we can make God angry or sad then we control God’s emotional state. Since it is impossible for us to control God it follows that it is impossible for us to make God angry or sad.
So what do we do with the verses that speak of God being angry, etc? Are we supposed to take them literally? No! For the same reason that when God is described as wanting to gather Israel under his wings we don’t think of God as a giant chicken. Giving God similarities to mortals is a poetic metaphor.
Ray would have you believe that God is just like us but more powerful. That’s a description of the old Greek and Roman Gods NOT the God written of in the bible. So it would seem that according to Ray Comfort’s definition of idolatry [worshipping anything other than God] Ray Comfort is an idolater, or just a liar. Your choice.]
I think you may need to read your bible again. It follows no logical sense that’s the bible’s descriptions of the Lord’s anger, jealousy, love etc would be interpreted as anything other than literal meaning. Dont over complicate things. Examples of mans sin bringing God’s anger and wrath are plentiful in the bible, please refer to the history of Isreal. Further, examples of God’s love and mercy are just as real/literal as those of his wrath.
And I don’t quite understand your position of Ray being an idolater…

If you read the previous quote carefully, Matthew Henry is the one whom Ray is citing and quoting. Don’t just be offended by knowledge that is contrary to your personal pet doctrines… if you are a believer, be on the offensive! Seek First the Kingdom of God and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS! “Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” Col. 4:5, 6
