That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm just pointing out errors in beliefs.
No you're not Delicate, you've no interest in learning from others because you've already prejudged everybody who doesn't agree with what you say as stupider than you and not worth listening to you.

I "lack" belief in the FSM... if I claim that the FSM "doesn't fucking exist" does that make me a hypocrite?
But the FSM brings presents to the good children of the world once a year on his magical sleigh!! Wait a minute....[emoji39]

Well I have no interest in learning from people who haven't mastered the rudiments of critical thinking.
I'll concede that much.
This applies equally to theists who don't know how to think. I don't want to learn from them.
So...
Once again we at the point where it is time for you to present your evidence (demonstrable, verifiable, repeatable, falsifiable), and show us how you have applied critical thinking to said evidence in order to determine that your god exists.
What are you waiting for?
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.
