So, the theist is basically using this flawed analogy to just say, "God works in mysterious ways". It's the ultimate theist 'get out of jail free' card for 'God'.
There is no responses needed except derision toward the theists for hiding from the tough questions about the god of their mythology.
Isn't it so convenient that the theist can make up any attributes for their god, ad hoc, to explain away any of the evil acts he is responsible for in the stories?
Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.

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.
