Bored now.
So, earlier you made it clear that you do not understand epistemology (beliefs, facts, knowledge).
And now you make if clear that you do not understand what intellectual honesty and integrity mean, either.
It would be nice if you actually acknowledged when someone correctly pointed out when you wrong on a certain point. But then, that would require...wait for it....intellectual honesty.
If you ask any of us atheists here, if we want to be corrected if we have a false or unsupported belief, and universally, we will answer, yes.
I want to have as many true beliefs, and eliminate, from my mind, as many false beliefs as possible.
Why don't you?
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.
