My doctor asked me to pray.

What does 50 million deaths have to do with anything, except to help keep the world from becoming over crowded in just a short time. I pray to Yahweh, but then I guess you didn't realize Yahweh is the God of creation, the God of the Jews and the God of Christians. No wonder you have trouble arguing against Christians.
You need to bring proof that my believing in answered prayer is an appeal to emotion and that my perception is flawed.

SAMPLE RATE error. 50 million people died, and I am sure lots of them saw it coming and prayed too. So what makes you so special, seems kinda selfish to me. You think those others that died wanted to? You think they didn't have loved ones now in agony now missing them?

No I don't need to bring proof.

"Prove Muslim prayer does not work"
"Prove Hindu prayer does not work"
"Prove Jewish prayer does not work"
"Prove Buddhist prayer does not work"
"Prove Mormon prayer does not work"
"Prove Shinto prayer does not work"

You wouldn't buy those arguments above, so why should I give your "prove it doesn't work"  either?

I didn't ask you to prove my prayer doesn't work, I ask you to prove my belief in answered prayer was an appeal to emotion and that my perception is flawed.
I have many relatives including my Dad that I miss very much, however I have the peace of knowing it's not a permanent situation, I will see them again. I am not in agony over their deaths either. My mother probably has only a couple years left, she doesn't fear her death, nor do I. I hate to see it come because I want to keep her here but, as we all know that's not possible everyone dies and when she does we will celebrate her life and look forward to seeing her again and we will.
As for those six arguments above, I'm asked to prove similar type arguments all the time. Yes if I'm required to bring proof then the same applies to everyone else. I hear it all the time bring me proof, bring me proof, bring me proof so I'm asking what is asked of me, seems reasonable, right?
