I will therefore avoid making claims but rather statements of belief but of course If my opponent believes the issue of burden of proof then in respect for their belief I will feel able to should it suit my purposes to ask them for proof should they assert claims.
You're likely to have a difficult time describing how you've come to know something that you can't prove. This is disappointing, contrary to your last post, you don't accept logic after all. The burden of proof is not an issue of belief, but it does seem to be a very common habit from the theist end of the aisle to interpret everything as a belief (perhaps because -belief- is very important to them, or perhaps because they recognize the weakness of -belief- in an argument, or any number of things really, but those are the two I'm inclined to go with).

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
