You definitely shouldn't believe any statement concerning metaphysical issues.
The question which then follows; is why should anyone?
If there is no metaphysical methods that can reliably discern fact from fiction, wouldn't that mean, that those that believe in said god claims, are being irrational?
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.
