An example of a law of logic is the law of non-contradiction. This law states, for instance, that it cannot both be true that I like onions and that I don't like onions at the same time, and in the same way.
Logic is a set of rules for reasoning. It's based on observation, what reasoning produces useful results and what reasoning doesn't. Two contradictory statements can't both be true simultaneously.

Since logic is a product of a mind, then the logical absolutes also must be a product of a mind.
That mind is god.

Too bad this is one of the most flawed arguments for a god there is. Almost as bad as Sye's presuppositional argument. And only slightly less annoying.
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.
