The "mocking" starts when an atheist tries to tell me or anyone else how the Bible is to be interpreted. You know, like when an atheist insists that "tesla" means rib when it actually means "angular organ" based solely on English translations of the texts.
As if stating that Yahweh used an 'angular organ' to create Eve instead of a rib really helps the credibility of the story.
Seriously?
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.
