Yes.
Because they couldn't handle the story the way it was. The women fleeing the tomb and not telling anyone what they experienced.

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.
