Some of mine are:
1. The (sometimes) caustic, eye watering aroma of food with a high amount of chili peppers, being cooked.
2. Two annoying cats, with way too many toes on their feet, generally being annoying.
3. Frequent, loud, late 20th century and contemporary avant-garde classical music, prog rock or intense jazz fusion, coming from the high end audios system in my sound room. If I ever want people to leave, I just start playing Gyorgy Ligeti's "Lux Aeterna", Alban Berg's "Violin concerto", Joan Tower's "Concerto for orchestra", or some other similarly "thorny" sounding classical piece.
4. Having your unsupported assertions challenged.

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.
