Frodo : Saying a belief is rational because it can't be proved untrue is the classic argument from ignorance. You can hold any insane unfalsifiable belief. It's not a way to find truth.
And yes, I treat each claim separately, hence my request for clarification. But if it involves anything supernatural, then by definition it is currently unfalsifiable. Such claims are useless and should be dismissed.
If you want to define rational in a different way in order to claim a belief is rational, then that's fine.
For example, is it rational to believe that God lives in my house, because no one can prove he doesn't?
