No. Actually, I'm just being nice and non-argumentative.
Since you knew these people personally, I don't question that it happened. Personally, though, I don't believe Vishnu or Native American shaman totems answered the prayers.....I believe God did. I didn't say that in the previous Post because I didn't want to disrespect the beliefs of your friends/acquantices (and still don't - I'm just explaining my reasoning).
I don't believe in Vishnu just as they don't believe in God, but that doesn't make the miracle any less miraculous, or their faith any less fervent than mine.
Why would God choose to answer prayers offered to a different diety....I can't say for sure, His ways and reasons are His own....but His love for us is infinite and He knows the heart of every living person. I just rejoice in the miracle, regardless of the reason.
