Rev, when a Christian comes to an atheist message board (and don't get me wrong, you've every right to do just that) and voices the fact that they find some things offensive, that's rather like petting a hedgehog and whinging because no one told you about the quills.

Your beliefs will deserve respect when you are able to support them with evidence, logic and reasoned argument. 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.
If he can, he would be the first.
