It isn't sensible to assess a thing that cannot be true or false on the grounds of whether it is true or false. You can't back someone into a corner if they're telling you that their faith is not a logical conclusion based on mundane facts which neither of you dispute that can be true or false - but another kind of thing that also informs them. That's simple intellectual honesty which in no way jeopardizes their faith.
