I kind of figured that must be the case with CL. But the lack of any 'smilies' to show sarcasm, I was left not knowing, so I responded to the post as I read it.
Also, going from personal experience with theistic friends and relatives, I've seen theists going from moderate positions to extreme ones in short periods of time. So, a possible change in CL's views do have precedent.
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.
