Why would a 'benevolent creator' punish me by not 'persevering my soul' for the finite thought crime of disbelieving he/she/it exists? You do see that any 'creator' that would punish someone for that is not truly benevolent...right?
It does not require any courage on my part to disbelieve in a god for which there's not a shred of demonstrable evidence, reasoned argument or valid logic to support its existence.
I see you changed your religious views.
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.
