So, presuppositions and circular logic gives you hope in succeeding and believing in your capabilities?
Seems like you're building your castles in quicksand.
On a side note, I see you still have 'deist' listed as your religious views. Why?
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.
