Something you should consider, Elvis.... written by someone from your own swampy corner of the world a while back......
Love is good temper. "Love is not easily provoked to anger." To love means to possess a good temper. If the scriptures did not affirm it, we might be inclined to doubt this, for we ordinarily look upon a bad temper as a harmless weakness or a mere physiological failing. We speak of it as an infirmity of nature, an inherited disposition or climatical effect of no serious account, but here in the very heart of St. Paul's analysis, it stands condemned as a vice opposed to love.
The reason why it is so generally disregarded or overlooked is that it is the vice of the virtuous. It is one blot of an otherwise noble character. We all know men who are passing good, except for their easily ruffled, quick-tempered, touchy disposition. A good example is the brother of the prodigal son. Which was the worse, the prodigal or his brother? Most persons unhesitatingly brand the prodigal. The sins of the higher faculties, of the will and intellect, may easily be far worse than the mistakes of the prodigal.
No form of vice, not gambling nor riotous living, nor drunkenness itself does more to unchristianize a man than his evil temper. For embittering life, for making one's associates wretched, for destroying the most sacred relationships, for giving scandal, for creating an atmosphere of meanness and bad feeling, in short, for sheer, gratuitous, misery-producing power, this influence stands alone. Look at the prodigal"s brother. He was a moral, thrifty, hard-working, dutiful son–give him full credit for his virtues. But see the mean, angry, jealous creature sulking outside his father"s door. "He was angry," we read, "and he would not go in." Jealousy, anger, pride, uncharity, cruelty, self-righteousness, touchiness, doggedness, sulliness–these are the ingredients of the dark and loveless souls of the ill-tempered men. ... The temper is the test of love, because want of patience, want of kindness, want of humility, want of generosity, all are instantly symbolized in one flash of anger. The ill-tempered man cannot love, because love "is not easily provoked to anger."

But the one thing that Christians, Atheists, Jews, Muslims, Agnostics, Buddhists, Hindus, Mormons, and even Moonies can agree on is this:

Do uncles have a conscience? Criminals seem to get along with each other.
Ah, but it isn't! It's not fear from retribution that stops me, any more than it is for you.
Is it evolution? Which primate tosses shit bombs at zoo visitors, and then feels the need to apologize? If we find this ape, then we have found our ancestry!Comment
