There are coins made at the time Orodes III existed with his image. There is a direct line from kings that immediately preceded him, and followed him, also with images and coins.

Of course you do. Too bad they all come from sources that weren't born or lived contemporaneously with JC.
And to make things worse, there were plenty of historians that lived at the right time, in the right place and were known to report on religious leaders, that failed to mention JC.
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.
