I am a person that wants to have as many true beliefs as possible, and as few false beliefs.

If there is a true belief that I currently do not hold, especially concerning the existence of a god, I want to know about it.

So, if someone has sufficient evidence, reasoned argument and valid and sound logic to support the existence of a god, I am open to being convinced. 

What we don't like is being preached at, as if we should be convinced by it.

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.

The existence of Yahweh and becoming a Christian are two separate issues, as far as I'm concerned. One does not logically follow from the other; I'd take a lot more convincing for the second than the first.

You should be a Christian because of all the pot luck food the old ladies bring in after the sermon.

Well, apologetics is such a fast moving field of study! You never know what might have cropped up since then Tongue

Unless you're a Christian, you can never know the true taste of Jesus' flesh and blood!
He comes in gluton free too!
