How we did it:
We took the biblical idea of praying to god to recieve whatever you
ask for and then give gratitude and act like you have recieved what
you asked for until it happens but simply left the name "god" out the
equation.
No one wants to believe in "god" anymore, the name alone puts people
off. So we called him "the universe" instead as that is suitable
vague and mystic and tied it in loosely with some ideas in quantum
physics. Yes. And that psuedo science gave it a lovely unarguable
axiopisty which we all love in the noughties. Yes we do.
