I really don't know if there is a God or not, but since I have not yet seen any evidence, I live my life as though there isn't.

I have no idea one way or the other, and am always weighing both possibilities in my head.

My actual position was not one of the choices, so I chose the closest, which was the second one.

How am I supposed to know if it is possible, even an extremely small possibility, for there to be a god? And more importantly, even if there was a way to determine if it is possible for one to exist, how would we determine what the probability of one existing? We don't have enough data points.

There are certain gods that I would choose the first option. Some gods, as defined by the texts that they are described in, cannot possibly exist.

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.
