I love how for century after century, Christians believed the Earth was flat and the Earth was the center of the universe based on these passages in the Bible.
The best Christian scholars took those passages as mostly literal. Then, when it it proven the Earth is a spheroid and is not the center of the universe, those passages that were previously literal, are now considered poetic.
Isn't that convenient?

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.
