When someone makes an argument or asks a question supposing that god exists, the theist doesn't need to start from scratch with a first cause or other existence argument. You and zebo are tedious, shallow, one-trick ponies.
I know the theist does not need to start from scratch for their own beliefs.
I was referring to a theist that wants to convince me that their beliefs are true.
You seem to have a bit of a problem comprehending my post. Check out the part I bolded above.
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.
