Is there any evidence that your postured objectivity is genuine when it comes to lovers of Jesus Christ?
My postures are subjective ones and they are all genuine: the evidence is found in my posting record.

Of course the heart mentioned in the Bible is psychological and spiritual usually rather than the physical organ.

The heart in the Bible is composed of the mind, will, emotion, and conscience.
These four functions of man's inward being comprise the heart.
I believe context determines the meaning of the terms.
Biblically, the heart is the deepest part of and the essence of ones being, and is relative to the mind with regards to thought and consciousness.
The soul refers to our inner emotions, sometimes called the bowels from which the will emanates.
The brain is the conjunctive organ between our heart and soul, and facilitates awareness of this world.

Just my two cents. Not going to be dogmatic about. It's a far cry from what an atheist thinks he believes.

The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desires.
From episode 5 of Picard series 2, the consummate rascal "Q":

We are all hostages to what we love; the only way to truly be free is to love nothing, and how meaningless that would be.

Using the term "heart" in this way is merely a literary device. It does not help us to understand cognition and consciousness.
