My original reply to you was in response to this post of yours:
Quote:I can demonstrate it, just not objectively.
Eg. look all around you for evidence of him. Everything which exists/ irrefutable logic of his existence attested by believers.
All you can say it's that you disagree.
Usually in discussions such as this, statements like your first one above is something that would be supported by the person making it. Why would you claim you can demonstrate it, then claim a few posts later that you didn't post anything that needed supporting?
What do I want you to defend? Your claim that you can support your beliefs in a nonobjective manner.
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.
