Then there are all the other advantages - lording it over the plebs, preaching to them, keeping them in line and selling them lots of magic potions and beads, having them build you temples or buy your personal development CDs. We can also look down on the out-group, the unchosen ones, pity them in their ignorance, or just slaughter them in their millions. (The last bit doesn't quite relate to the LoA religion just yet; just give it a couple of hundred years.)

I do not believe that "matter does not exist unless it is observed." I think this is absurd and obvious unless you are delusional. I do believe in the LOA however. I can only say I have observed it working in my life and the life of others therefore I believe. I know many successful people ( as far as my definition of success) who use this LAW with astonishing results. I also know & observe many unsuccessful people (what I consider unsuccessful) use the LAW with astonishing success, therefore they are quit successful in the use of LOA.
