My main point is not whether I believe or not.
It was that you are taking terms ("love" and "goodness"), that already have perfectly complete and coherent meanings, without adding your god beliefs to them.
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.
