That is where I disagree.
I do not think you should leave AF when your predictions do not come true.
I want as many people with delusional faith based beliefs posting here as possible.
The more your flawed beliefs and ideas are criticized in the public sphere, the better.
I think when your predictions do not come true, you should have to give a small donation (even as low as $10) to a secular charity.
Something like 'Americans United for Separation of Church and State'.

They have plenty of Christian contributors also, so it won't even be that painful.
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.
