And no one from any other religion has ever claimed to see their god....

Some of them probably smarter than you.

Yet you don't believe their god exists. Special pleading much?

Quote:Do you even know What God looks like? Do you know where and how to look? What if God does not present Himself in the way you are expecting? Could you still Identify Him as God?

Let's try something...

Do you even know what Shiva looks like? Do you know where and how to look? What if Shiva does not present himself in the way you are expecting? Could you still identify him as Shiva?

Just as I thought. Just as meaningless as your statement.

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.
