You are confusing the word "burden" with "obligation". They are not always synonyms. When I say you have the burden of proof, I am not obligating you to argue further. If you find meaning and joy in your argument, do proceed.
Even in that case, there would be no point of proceeding if you aren't willing to listen. It would be meaningless and serve no purpose.
Isn't it kind of weird that no one emphasizes on the two sides of this? That you guys always talk about the burden on believers making a case to prove their case, but you never looked at the side of being receptive and sincere listeners.
It can be one or the other, or both. If there is no proof and you are bad listeners, you won't even know that non-proof is non-proof, because you wouldn't know if the proof was a proof, it's al confusion when one is not sincerely listening.
Anyways, I got to use my time wisely. I think this thread has served it's purpose.
