"He was making a point and it was only a tree. Of no consequence"

That is an ignorant remark. Of course, all things are of consequence. So what point was He making? The text is clear: He was hungry and He noticed the tree from afar...

"12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
"

It is clear that He cursed it because He was hungry and was pissed when He walked all that way and found He was to remain hungry. Throwing a temper tantrum is immature at the best and emotionally ill at the worst.

"Because you show here with your inane opinions that you think you know better than God."

I know better than to curse a fig.

"Babies being aborted in the wombs of their mothers do experience pain"

How about 42 school children being shredded and mangled by bears? Do they feel pain, oh Wise One??
