Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

[SteveII]

This charge comes up from time to on this forum. 

First, let's define our terms:

Special Pleading: Applying standards, principles, and/or rules to other people or circumstances, while making oneself or certain circumstances exempt from the same critical criteria, without providing adequate justification. Special pleading is often a result of strong emotional beliefs that interfere with reason. reference

Evidence: Evidence is not proof. It is a fact that supports a conclusion. For the purposes of this discussion, eyewitness testimony (from any religion) is evidence.  

Central Question: Is it true that other religions have bodies of evidence that can be examined in the same or similar way as Christianity's is and therefore are legitimate comparisons in which special pleading can actually occur?

Is there any debate that no major religion that has a fraction of the amount of evidence of Christianity to even examine in support of its main claims? If other religions do not have a body of evidence or there only exists one piece of evidence, then how could there be any special pleading in favor of Christianity? 

If you are tempted to just answer there is no evidence for Christianity, they we are just arguing definitions of words. Whatever you call the material under consideration, there is more of it under Christianity and therefore no special pleading.

Well at least you don't suggest that atheists are holding you to a higher standard for your supernatural claims than we do ourselves for various and sundry mundane claims we make ourselves.  I appreciate not having to argue that evidence for supernatural claims is going to be more demanding than for ordinary natural ones.  

I also appreciate your defining the terms as you are using them.  Nice, and the definitions seem reasonable.  

As to your question, I have no idea how good the evidence is for other religions or how well that stacks up against your own.  All I know, is I've never seen anything that has made me doubt my disbelief for any religion.  I have looked at a few but not with any interest in the evidence provided for the truth of religious claims interpreted literally.  Fundamentalism of any ilk is a nonstarter as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Like I have said above, Christianity is a cumulative case. Not all people come to believe it from the same direction and for the same reasons.
