Well, considering all the other utter crap you believe, I am not that impressed with your abilities to make that valuation.
Your ability to determine what is true, or likely true, is, shall we say, somewhat compromised.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I would say, maybe take a break with stressing over searching for a while. Take it from someone who used to stress about it. One day you'll wake up, and you'll find a path that you feel at peace with. No need to sweat it.
Feeling at peace with, is not my goal though. I want to know the truth. And I don't think I can discover that alone.
Humans have to bring up their game and dialogue has to take on a sincere level to arrive at the truth.
This go it alone approach where everyone seeks by themselves, is not working.

I think what you'll find is that everyone's truth is a bit different. You can find people who might lean towards similar truths with you, but not all will think identically. I think finding that truth is what brings us peace. Truth for the individual.

It's been a while since I got one of these let's call them virtual "somethings" from you.
It always feel good when you do.

It seems we humans don't care to find the whole truth then, and have agreed to divide, and let ourselves be conquered by deceiving leaders, or our own misconceptions and prejudice
There is no doubt everyone has some knowledge of truth.

I never said such a thing. If I have, I apologize. Rather, all I wanted to show, is the arguments I am making, are found in Quran.

The qurans filled with the sort of incoherent and trivially false shit you post on the regular? The hell you say! 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's actually the main reason I gave it a serious read. It proved God with proofs I came to my own conclusions without realizing they were in Quran.
It's then I started to give Deism and what it has to say about it, a serious consideration, and it proved it irrational to me.

I also think that deism is irrational. I guess I could be generous and call it a-rational?
