Please let us know what method you are using in order to determine which are the things and which are the bad.
Why do so many 'good Christians' come to different conclusions about which are the bad things that can be discarded, and which are the good things should be followed?
How do you know that some of the things you are discarding are not some of the things that are needed to get you into heaven?
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.
