The worst ones in my opinion, are the philosophical arguments.
The cosmological argument, ontological argument, teleological argument, TAG all make the perpetrator of them sound real deep an intellectual, yet they are all flawed. Not one of them are both valid and sound. And no amount of pointing out the fallacies will do anything to dissuade believers from using them.
On top of that, they are intellectually dishonest arguments.

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.
