He did have a way, He said, "Don't touch it!"
That's laughable!
Compared to your god, as the myth tells it, humans have a miniscule amount of the understanding, knowledge, forethought, etc, etc as Yahweh has. He should have known (before he even made us...omniscience, right?) that an event like the one that happened to Uzzah would happen. And poor Uzzah was just trying to protect the Ark from falling.
And why does Yahweh actually get angry? How could a being that is supposedly omniscient, get angry? Anger comes from an event not going the way one thought it would. Doesn't EVERYTHING happen according to Yahweh's plan?
"I did have a way to keep my 7 year old son from shooting himself with my gun. I told him, don't touch it".
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.
