Of course. That is obvious.

That's because most believers don't really care whether their beliefs are true or not.

Quote:I think you know it through the living name of God/face of God.

How would they go about telling whether they are actually experiencing the "living name of God/face of God", or they are having some sort of experience that is just a product of their minds?

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.
