I voted yes.

Well written fiction has the ability to create characters that are able to elicit all sorts of emotional reactions.

I've been emotionally involved in many works of fiction, and the characters.

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.
