For istance, a friend of mine, a very good living Christian, lost his wife and two of his children in a car accident. Did he somehow attract this?

Andy and Heather, I was searching for words in my previous answer, and I was not clear enough obviously.
Not all can be accounted to the LOA. The LOA is
part of life, not life itself.
What I was trying to make clear is the exact opposite of what you seemed to interpret from my post.
Like I said, the LOA only affects the person who is responsible for the "vibes", the good or negative thoughts.
What does this mean ?
If you think about bills all the time, you will attrackt more bills ( it's not just thinking about it, it is the powerfull emotion behind it that triggers it ).
If you think about making money all the time, you will attract money.
This boy from your first post wanted to learn to drive passionately, and his mother gave him that chance. The LOA delivered what was asked. The accident was not asked for by the boy. It happened, and he has to live with it for the rest of his life, and that is terrible, but I don't see how that can be linked to the LOA other than the fact that the circomstances that lead to the accident came from the LOA. But that is like saying 1 + 1 = 3
Also, before answering Andy's question about the mass murders, I would like to point out that there is more to it than just 1 person and the LOA.
There are lots of people living side by side that attract things, and there is a certain interconnectedness ( or as they say in Buddhism, everything is connected, nothing is seperate ).
This is the factor that makes it more difficult to get what you want, the Universe is working with everybody around you as well. And that is why real passion to achieve your goal resonates more clearly and this person who has this passion will achieve his goal sooner.
Now to get to the mass murders part.
First of all, the LOA doesn't judge. We humans do. What we consider evil means nothing to the LOA.
It delivers what your passion ( positive or negative ) asks for.
So, you might ask, does that mean that they asked for to be killed ?
No, they didn't.
They were killed by other people, and that is terrible.
Remember, The LOA can only affect the person who is responsible for emitting the passionate thought.
The person who killed his fellow man or woman, didn't send out vibes of killing that person, he just did it.
The victim didn't send out vibes to get killed, he just was.
Because of the simplified way that the LOA was presented to us in the Secret, we just might interpret it wrongly, thinking exactly what you were thinking: What about someone who gets killed, did he ask for that ?
What about rape, child abuse, assault...
No, they are not generated by the LOA unless that person specifically asks for it ( and I can't imagine why anyone would ).
There is more to life than LOA alone.
What the LOA guru's are trying to make clear is that certain parts of your life can improve if you passionately want it to !
That is why they say that your current situation is the result of how you have been using the LOA so far, usually on autopilot.
That your thinking at this moment is keeping you from growing, and that a new mindset will change your life.
If you have passion about your goal, you will achieve it. Numerous movies have been made about people going through numerous problems before reaching their goal. What kept them going ? Their passion !
There will be problems anyway ! If you keep going for your goal, you will surpass your problems and get better from it.
The LOA is not about eliminating troubles in life, it is about overcoming them !
There is even an example of a person who wanted to become a millionaire, and as soon as he achieved it, he gave it away to a good cause ! Now he knew how to use the LOA, and knew he would never be short on anything again. He was looking for a new challenge !
he had faith that he would reach that point he visualised in his mind.
