Even your name 'SavedByGraceThruFaith' states that you believe based on faith.
Sorry, but faith is not a path to truth. Faith is gullibility.
Is that what you believe?
From the view of someone that has no religious or god beliefs, I see no difference between the validity of your faith based beliefs and those of Hindus, Muslims, Zoroastrians, etc, etc.
I work with plenty of Muslims, Christians and Hindus. Every one of them has an equal level of faith in their beliefs as the other.
And NONE of them can support their beliefs with anything other than faith. No demonstrable evidence, no reasoned argument, no valid or sound logic.
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.
