De facto theist. I'm not 100% certain but fairly sure there is a God, so I live on the assumption that there is one.

Leaning towards theism. I think the chance of God's existence is a bit better than 50%.

God is a supernatural concept. By very definition it is unverifiable scientifically.

Is it? Sez who? Could whomever says God is supernatural be wrong? What if God is entirely natural, but misunderstood?

Trying to dismiss God-concepts by labeling them as "supernatural" without the slightest bit of objective, critically robust scientific evidence that God is indeed supernatural is just a lame evasion.

And Christians are infallibly correct about the "definition" of God how, exactly?

I dismiss them not by labelling them "supernatural", but by labelling them, "ill-defined". Give me a working definition of a god that I can examine and then, when I try worm my way out of accepting its truth by diverting the question, you can claim that I'm "evading" and not before.
Without a definition in the first place there is nothing to evade. Literally.
