If Deist Paladin were posting here more regularly, he could chime in with some useful info.


One of the best books written on the subject is Bart Ehrman's, "Lost Christianities: The Battles for Scripture and the Faiths We Never Knew".

Not an easy read, but worth the effort.


*Crap! Minimalist beat me by 3 minutes.*

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.
