I agree with that. If I am God's representative, then I am a sorry choice, which definitely proves I am not. But even if people all thought I was high and pure, without proof from God, I would be a wrong choice to assume by people. Who and what qualities do you expect in who represents God and his teachings?
I would expect a representative that can provide demonstrable, falsifiable evidence and reasoned argument for the existence of their god.
Better yet, if a god actually did exist, he would know exactly what I need in order to believe he exists, and be able to provide it unambiguously. He wouldn't need a representative.
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.
