Yes, we understand that you are convinced that a god exists.
But people can be convinced for good reasons and bad reasons.
Please explain why your reasons are good.
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.
