[1] Perhaps you can clarify (or re-evaluate that they are unfalsifiable). I also think that you may have confusion on what my faith consists of. [2] My faith is in God, not about God. I don't think that it is about taking a blind leap, and I don't advocate or think that people should have that kind of faith.
If it is a subjective matter, then I would agree. [3] However I don't think that your statements here make much sense when it is objective whether talking about religion or just one's worldview in general.
Thanks for the very polite questions... I hope this helps.
Thanks for your response. Out of curiosity, how would you go about falsifying supernatural claims?
Regarding [1], my confusion lies in trying to establish the truth of supernatural claims via naturalistic tools such as human reason/logic. Furthermore, if supernatural claims can be understood or falsified via naturalistic means, then are these claims really based in the supernatural? Is it more accurate to say that "supernatural" describes humanity's lack of knowledge about how reality works?
In regards to [2], could you please clarify the following statement: "my faith is in God, not about God."
Regarding [3], if one's worldview/religious faith is falsifiable, then does that open the door to subjectivity?
Thanks for your polite answer, sir.
You won't get one. We should all know that by now.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
