Is Accepting Christian Evidence Special Pleading?

I would agree, that it would be incorrect, to engage in rational discourse, over that which is subjective.  However, I would disagree, that these things are unfalsifiable.  Hence I don't understand nor share your concern and confusion. [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.

Sorry for the delay in my response (been busy, tired, and sick as well).
In regards to your points [1] I understand that there is the view of the word "supernatural" which basically equates to "unknown" (and it seems to me, this is how you are using it). That once the supernatural is known, it then becomes natural. This is not what I would normally mean by the term. I would view it more in this instance as transcending the natural forces of the visible/known universe and that which makes it up (and I understand it can be tricky to define precisely). However it seems to me, that if we are going to know about the supernatural in any reasonable way, that there would need to be a falsifiable event or reasoning, in which to do so.

[2] I mean, that I find reason to believe in God, and from that; I have faith in Him, and what He has proclaimed.

[3] I'm a little unsure exactly what you mean here. If you mean, that we can have disagreements or differing opinions; then I would agree. If you mean subjective by nature, in that it is dependent on and internal to the subject then I very much disagree (falsifiable would entail that it is objective).

Again sorry for the delay. I wanted to respond previously and wasn't able (and almost didn't now because of the pause in discussion). So I understand if you lost interest. But I appreciate your questions, and felt they deserved an answer. I don't know that we approach the issue from the same perspective though (perhaps because of a difference in understanding regarding the word "supernatural". And I'm not too concerned with the use of that term apart from a certain context. If someone comes to me, with a claim (supernatural or not), I'm going to ask why I should hold that view. And I think that something falsifiable should follow.
