Comment on Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion

The universe kinda becomes like a god.
If anything is going to be qualified as a god, the literal embodiment of everything, everywhere, all at once seems to fit the bill. Call it what you want—the universe is our everything as far as we know it, and that has traditionally been an interpretation of what god is as well.

I see, I think describing the whole universe as a god in a symbolic way can make sense.
Anyway, the trouble starts when people go beyond symbolism and start asking for help, making wishes, and sometimes blaming this “deity” for undesirable events. Relying on an entity whose existence remains uncertain, let alone he/she cares about you, is like gamble, which sounds unsettling.
