Dear enki,
Yes it does help and I would love to have a conversation with your wonderful Angel of Mercy, one question I would ask, has she always been a atheist or did she lose her faith.
I would ask what drives her compassion, yes brotherly love would be one of them but are there other factors.
As I type this I am treading on eggshells, not wanting to say the wrong thing, your post is a beautiful post and should be treated as such but I will add, your good lady walks with my God every single day, she worships the Father every single day, I have said this before, but there are atheists who have more Christianity in their little finger than most Christians I have met, God Bless her
