Well I have no interest in learning from people who haven't mastered the rudiments of critical thinking.
I'll concede that much.
This applies equally to theists who don't know how to think. I don't want to learn from them.

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.
