Theists show up on an atheist forum to ask questions of the opposing view.
Yes, it makes perfect sense to come to an atheist forums to ask atheists about atheism. Coming to an atheist forum to ask theists about theism, however, just seems a little counter productive.
Not at all.
As I pointed out in my reply to you back in post #55, having honest back and forth discussions on theist forums as an atheist is next to impossible, since banning is almost inevitable for doing nothing more than pointing out flaws in theist's arguments.
Since theists get banned a lot less on atheist forums, discussing theism with theists on an atheist forum seems to be the best option.
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.
