Just think of all the time and effort he puts himself through coming up with all the flawed arguments he posts here.

And the only purpose they can serve, is to convince him of what he is already convinced of.

No one with a modicum of critical thinking skills would ever be swayed by one of his arguments.

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.
