RE: Challenging the Atheist belief

So, to summarize, Natedeezy has nothing but:

Argument from ignorance.
'god of the gaps'
Special pleading.
A misunderstanding of atheism.
A misunderstanding of burden of proof.
Leading the evidence.

Did I miss anything?

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.
