The point you are trying to make is basically making assumptions to enable you to reach a conclusion that isn't supported by the facts.
1) First of all, it's not a question of "believe in touchable things only". I don't question the existence of the heart. One of the ways I could prove that the heart exists is by opening your chest,and physically touching your heart.As God doesn't have any physical form, this avenue of proof isn't available.
2) Whether or not feelings and emotions commonly said to "come from the heart" actually do or not has absolutely nothing to do with the existence of God. The concepts of the heart and God have a very significant difference: the existence of the heart has been undeniably proven.
You can't honestly contrast and compare two concepts as you have done. The only similarity is that both have been assigned characteristics that aren't necessarily true.
The bottom line is that God is experienced in different ways by different people dedpending on their beliefs, and not on empirical proof. The existence of the heart can be empirically proven, so you are mixing apples and oranges.
In my mind accepting that the heart is responsible for feelings is like being a Hindu as oppossed to a Christian. If one takes the premise that religion exists, it becomes a choice based on beliefs that guides one to a particular religion. Likewise the choice to beleive that the heart controls emotion is based on belief, not fact.

Who believes only in touchable things? Straw man. (and clearly some people do not know what that means, everyone knows of stuff that exists but you can't touch, electrical fields, gravity and so on, we measure the effects they have on other entities. There is just no evidence for god in even this way, why, because he does not exist.)
And your feelings actually come from your brain, your heart IS just a blood pump.

God doesn't exist to these people because it doesn't suit them. If they believed that there was a heavenly father up there, they would have to take care in the way they acted. That is not convienient for them. But here is an example of how we can see that there is a God. How did we 'invent' the airplane? How did we 'invent' the thousand of gadgets and electronic devices etc? From nature. We studied nature. So nature was the blueprint for an airplane. A blueprint for an airplane is so complicated, as every plan is, and the person who designed this airplane gets credit for it. But that is where it ends. No one says, oh, the person who developed nature must get credit too, they just say that nature happened on it's own! That is about as logical as saying that a dictionary came to be from an explosion at a printing press!

God is supposed to be an all powerful being who created the universe, Earth, and life, yet there isn't a shred of verifiable evidence to even suggest the existence of such a being. The existence of God is something you take purely on faith.
When you talk about your heart in an emotional sense, it is simply a metaphor for your emotional being. No one is going to suggest that being heart broken really means the heart beating in your chest isn't working correctly, it simply means you are very disappointed.
I would be willing to be the origins of this use of heart would date back to a time when people didn't really understand the function of the body and believe people who died for no apparent reason could actually die of a broken heart.
Nice try, but...Actually, it wasn't even a nice try.

A heart is a "touchable item" and love is an emotion and sayings like a broken heart are just that, sayings. I don't believe in god but I believe in love even if it does come from a pump.
If you are a bliever in god that would mean you loved him, where does YOUR love come from.

Can't you just come to terms that some people just don't believe in this "God" you speak of? I'm not a radical Atheist and respect your need for faith, but why can't the same respect be afforded to me? You know why?, because I think most religious people are zealots when the topic of religion comes up. Leave it be, you can't challenge us and expect to win.

You already asked this. Broken heart is a figure of speech, not a belief.

If your heart was broken you'd need a pacemaker.
