Sam2, I agree it’s lacking sophistication and discernment, I was just impressed with the emunah peshutah. Except that popa’s probably right.
It reminded me of the story of the holocaust survivor who said he lost his faith when he saw someone selling (for bread) the rights to don his tefillin. Someone pointed out to him that he should have instead looked at the fact that people were willing to give up their meager crumbs to wear tefillin.
