There is still a lot of debate that free-will exists. The latest neural science is showing that we don't have free-will, we only have the illusion of free-will.
You seem to be making the claim, with absolute certainty, that free-will exists, when in reality some of the best minds in science and philosophy are not so sure.
I'm glad you have some sort of special knowledge. Maybe you should publish a paper on the existence of free will and settle the matter once an for all.

You completely missed the point that you are replying to!
Here it is again. If I disbelieve that there is insufficient evidence to support claim X, that does not mean I necessarily believe claim X is false.
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.
