Sorry, I maintain that processing data that is full of (known) systematic problems or data that is known to be insufficiently sensitive to detect the goal is a drain on limited resources.
Under Christianity, I think children were instructed to hold their hands together in order to discourage fidgeting. I'm not aware of any Biblical reason to clasp hands. In fact, I think in the Old Testament hands were often raised in prayer.
If a church can't be supported through its active membership, it should close. Better no church at all than one sold out to the world, making money from investments and forgetting their true purpose.
"Love" in the scriptures is typically a verb, e.g., "God so loved the world..." It describes an action that God does, not a feeling. God's love is his acting in a loving way towards undeserving people.
Christian theologians believe in the impassibility of God, which means that God does not have emotions as humans do. Then biblical texts where emotions are attributed to God are explained as anthropomorphism - God using human language to communicate his nature and actions.
