Just a response to an argument that many atheists make concerning prayer, like this one
http://atheists.org/blog/2011/09/12/pray...-hypocrisy
Meditation (OFTEN confused with prayer) DOES have in impact on nations and cities. It has been well documented that group meditation can lower crime rates in America. So good for the Christians praying to God! Sure, Maybe they are a little misguided at times, and all have their own focus with prayer (which why it doesn't work on a massive level). However if Christians or anyone of any faith just concentrated on one goal, more things like the lowering of the crime rate in Washington would happen!
Ah yes the whole "If EVERYONE did the SAME thing at the SAME time"...this will have a Physical impact??
Sorry mate calling fallacy on this one.
Meditation only has an impact on the practitioner alone. Very beneficial for those going through stressful times like chemo therapy and the like. Meditation really DOES assist (emphasis on Assists!!) in relaxing the patient and "leading to a more positive outcome from all the intrusive therapy"
xtians have been praying for millennia...I do not see any miraculous outcomes as yet.
