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.
What other qualities would you expect. I agree on what you said so far. A representative of God must able to do that but what other qualities would you assume he must have?
I don't care about other qualities.
All I care about is demonstrable, falsifiable evidence and reasoned argument.
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.
