Another beautiful poem about it, more specifically against everything that ~~religious Karens~~ conservatives stand for:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

1 Corinthians 13

Looking at the hate and anger that they spew... how can anyone remain convinced that they are about "Christianity" aka love?

Love that passage.
