Besides, preaching is expressly forbidden by the laws of this forum. Which is fine, I'm no good at it anyway.

Conversion is between you and God. I am here for conversation.

Preaching would not convince us anyway.

The only thing that would convince us is demonstrable evidence and reasoned argument.

MY mind works in such a way as to only accept a proposition as true when it meets its burden of proof, and not a second earlier.

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.
