It's okay if people want to believe in God/the gods/whatever, but that doesn't mean they can sit on their asses and hope a million dollars or whatever they want falls out of the sky. What I learned in my esoteric studies is that the old adage "The Lord helps those who help themselves" is actually talking about co-creation with the ASSISTANCE of the Divine, not asking for something and just expecting it to be handed to you on a silver platter.

And, in this case, it also means using your brains and getting the hell out of Dodge if that's what the situation calls for. If not, preparing for the worst.
