There are other bits you might have missed:

From Mark 12: Jesus answered, "The most important [commandment] says: `People of Israel, you have only one Lord and God. You must love him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.' The second most important commandment says: `Love others as much as you love yourself.' No other commandment is more important than these."

I Corinthians 13: 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. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

If you think that those are things that should be on a warning label, I'm a bit worried.

No offense man, but for me personally, I get really ticked when a discussion point such as this is brought up and someone proceeds to quote the Bible as an "answer." Since I don't believe in the Bible, every word of what you said might as well be Swahili, Russian or Arabic---or a mix of all three. And although it may not have been your intent, for anyone out there who wants to quote the Bible to "convince" anyone of anything, don't do it. It's a huge turn off and I think most people will agree that it has the opposite effect.
