Yet you present no evidence to support that statement. Nothing to suggest that you know that these actions were unjust.
So, if Yahweh communicated to you that you should be part of an army that should, "kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." for worshiping a different god, would you partake?
Would you even evaluate the above action morally? Or would you just carry it out because the order came from 'god'?
If another army came to your home town and claimed that their god ordered them to do the same to your town because you worshiped the wrong god, would you think that it was a just action?
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.
