Empirical/verification/falsification statements, are self refuting logical contradictions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-refuting_idea
Verification- and falsification-principles
The statements "statements are meaningless unless they can be empirically verified" and "statements are meaningless unless they can be empirically falsified" are both claimed to be self-refuting on the basis that they can neither be empirically verified nor falsified.[29]
This one works well for me because anyone claiming to find fault with the Faith on these grounds has to justify their use of a logical contradiction to do so, an impossible task. The cognitive dissonance caused by such an easy invalidation of their core beliefs makes for some interesting emotional outbursts. lol
