religion is about shifting the blame to someone else
I agree, in this case, the Law of Attraction blames the believers, but somehow people fail to see this and instead think they deserve the misfortune because they haven’t ‘put in enough energy’.
Comment on Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion

Well, that’s bullcrap. Science is about finding the truth, religion is about shifting the blame to someone else (and about controlling masses, depends on which side you view this from).
Sure, some people believe in string theory. But the moment it’s proven wrong, they’re gonna stop. Another important difference is that no one thinks it has any meaningful impact on you as a moral human being, while religiots base all their morality on what their fake god has told various goat herders and child rapists in centuries and millennia ago.

Sorry for my rant, I thought this was about physics, not some pseudo bullshit, I haven’t heard about that thing ever before.

Law of Attraction is a spiritual belief that thinking positively/negatively will affect your life in the same way. It is based on pseudoscientific explanation that people are made out of energy, and that energy attracts similar energy.
It is not science.

Never heard of that so I assumed it meant something like gravity, I was very confused.
