So, in other words, 'God' created the universe, including 200 billion galaxies, each with 100 billion or more stars, with countless planets, as a giant 'Soul Filter' for several billion hairless ape like creatures (with an overblown sense of importance) on one of the untold countless planets orbiting one mundane star out of the over 100 billion in our galaxy alone.
Got it.
The god you believe exists is tiny and meaningless, and an obvious invention of the same hairless ape like creatures.
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.
