What an inept or cruel god.

Goes through the effort to have personal relationship with non-Christian theists. Fails to inform them that he is the Christian god they are relating to.

Because of his ineptness or cruelness, guarantees they will punished in hell.

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.
