Help what? Is your faith and trust in God that weak that you all need props?
Many years ago, I went to a church in Houston, Texas. The pastor, an ex Catholic himself, said something I thought was interesting. He said the less light there is in a religion, the more “lights” it must have to function. You just said pretty much the same thing. I think one of the biggest props, is purgatory. Without purgatory, it’s a tough religion to sell.
