I really don't think I was misrepresenting your position at all. But let's have a look and see if your argument is 'rational'.
Why do you attribute them to God?
Evidence?
Evidence?
Evidence that the prayers were answered by God and the problems didn't get solved in some other, natural way?
You're right, that was an incredibly rational argument. You might want to rethink your challenge to Cinjin et al. You wouldn't know a rational argument if it presented strong evidence for its own existence and cause.
Basically what you've got there is your good ol' fashioned argument from incredulity. I think this discussion is fine in here, or we can move it back to the original thread if you wish.
