I had a long dialog with one of our resident Christians here, on another thread, where I posed this to him after he claimed that his god was hidden.
Interesting enough, that ended the discussion. He made no response to my question and wished me well in my 'search'.
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.
