interesting thought, but they also weren't doing anything "good." In other words, is prayer the same as inaction? From a secular point of view, it is.
A Buddhist would look at it differently. Meditation is time spent in apparent inaction, but it can be argued that it is time spent getting better in touch with one's self so they can be a better person. In addition, there is the concept of tapping into the greater conciousness. And through this change can be effected.
