On November 5th, 2017, Devin Patrick Kelley walked into First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs in Texas, wearing tactical gear and carrying a military style assault rifle, opening fire and killing 26 Christians and injuring 24 others. After being shot by a gun carrying church neighbor, Kelley fled the church and was later found dead in his vehicle.

Key phrases in your own ruminations that resonated with me: “Christianity helps you find t he right partner, it helps you get married, it helps you stay married, it gives you a sense of community, a real community”
I especially appreciated your comment near 22 minutes, about how the church treated your friend's, father (a lifelong atheist who had grown up in that church), how they wholeheartedly accepted when he came down with brain cancer, how they “surrounded him in kindness and stuffed him wth lasagne”, while “his atheist friends did virtually nothing”.
I had a similar experience several years ago of being healed by the unselfish love expressed by Christian friends:

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I put in the link shortener to create an easy-remembered link and to help save a little time.
If you are worried about internet safety, but have never implemented any simple security measures, you can click on the direct link instead:
