Then you're saying the secular world is guilty of not helping this couple, they did not even say anything to them, so why are you downing the church and not drawing the secular community around this couple into the same criticism.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
