Join a Christian forum, a Catholic forum, an Islamic forum, a Jewish forum, etc etc (for other major religions), and ask there what all their arguments/reasons are for the existence of their god(s). If you are genuine in your search for information on this issue, I think asking this question on theist forums would be a more logical approach. I don't think you're going to be able to gather much info at all asking a question like this on an atheist forum. There are only a handful of active theists here.
Sorry to inform you CL, but I have tried to join several Christian forums, including a Catholic one. I was banned from every one of them.
I was extremely courteous, never used anything close to foul language, did not insult anyone, responded honestly to every question, never tried to lie about who I was, etc, etc.
My membership would last exactly up to the point when I pointed out the fallacies and flaws in the arguments I was getting.
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.
