The various philosophical arguments (Kalem, teleological, ontological, etc) made me stop and think when I first heard them.

Before I figured out they were all fallacious, they caused me some thought.

But not any more.

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.
