Not that you don't know what that means, but you seem to have no intellectual curiosity to find out on your own.
None of us were born knowing the meaning all fallacy terms. But when someone points out to us why one our conclusions or beliefs is based on invalid or unsound logic (fallacious and irrational), we care enough to find out why. And more importantly, to correct our fallacious reasoning.
Did you even think to learn the meaning of 'post hoc ergo propter hoc'? I am willing to bet, no.
No intellectual curiosity. You don't care if your beliefs are true or not.
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.
