But that people die from cancer is actually further evidence of the work of God in the lives of those who survive cancer. Mercy comes when it is unexpected.
Well, isn't that convenient. When people die or survive cancer, both are a sign of god.
Lab rats given cancer will sometimes go into spontaneous remission without treatment. Is your god also determining the rate that lab rats die?
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.
