It just seems to me that the Law of Attraction is lacking logic in a way. It seems to me as if you almost kind of have to "trick" it into doing what you want it to do, or else it might trick you into what you don't want. Or at least it seems to me at least.
For example: someone has a thought "I don't want to be sick", to the Law of Attraction (from what I have gathered so far) you would be attracting sickness regardless. Instead your thought should be "I want good health", while I do see how this works. I can't see why the first thought "I don't want to be sick" couldn't not be valid as well.
The answer to what do I believe God is, or how I view it. I frankly don't know, I really don't. I suppose I am open to anything. Most theologies imply that God is everything, so if anything this pattern in recent religion is hinting me that God could be "believed" in many different ways. But really, I don't know....
I hope that made more sense, thanks for reading.

Taking your statement "I dont want to be sick"
The subconsious mind does not work on the sentence or on language at all.
Rather it works on pictures or images, which are created by what you are thinking about. Therefore if your affirmation is "I dont want to be sick" - The image it produces is of sickness. The subconcious does not understand words like don't because it cannot make a picture from it.
Therefore the affirmations we are making and thus the pictures in our minds need to be positive so that its instructions are clear.
We can actually go one step further. "I want good health" is not the best affirmation either. This is because "wanting" is easily achievable. The subconscious will say ok you want it so you can have what you are asking for - which is
wanting good health rather than having it.
A better affirmation or visualisation would be to state it in the positive as if it is already achieved.
Something like - I am enjoying the benefits of good health.
I hope that helps. I am sure others will be along to make it clearer
