Your wishy-washy self certainly can't be determining who is and who is not sincere.
That really doesn't make sense.......
Why not?
Here's a little test for you.
Please attempt to make a logical argument, in syllogistic form, for why an atheist could not work for a religious institution. It has to be both valid and sound.
1. premise
2. premise
Conclusion
Example of a sound and valid syllogism:
1. all men are mortal
2. Socrates is a man
Concision. Socrates is mortal
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.
