This notion is not pervasive in my experience.  I have not heard of this 
praying "in unison"; it's not something that is discussed or done in my area.   
Why do you think this is pervasive?

   I always start from the premise that God is not stupid.  :-)  Of course He 
will hear and answer
   sincere prayers.

There seems to be a pervasive belief amongst Baha'is that if a lot of Baha'is 
pray in unison for something (from wherever they are at the time) the effect is 
far more powerful than if they pray at different times.  Is there any 
foundation for this in the Writings, though?  Because if there isn't it sure 
looks to me to be myth.  Is God so legalistic that He would be less inclined to 
answer sincere prayers just because they aren't all said at the same time?
