We can remove "claim to" from this statement because it is a blatent attempt to hide behind a trap.
You're being disingenuous for the above statement because we both know you believe your god exists, not that you 'claim to believe'. You either do or you don't.
OK lets remove claim to..... I believe in God so it is now a statement of fact which again does give me a burden of proof to anyone apart from myself and the evidence I can accept only has to be acceptable to me.
No Mark 13:13
Wrong wrong wrong! You are obviously not a True Christian if you think the burden of proof rests (unbalanced) on Christians.
Just kidding.
I actually think the burden of proof rests on whoever wants to prove something. Yes, Christians DO want to demonstrate, not only what they believe/think, but also WHY.
The flip-side is that the person who thinks there is no God(s) is making what amounts to an extraordinary claim in the eyes of millions/billions of theists.
viz; that there is no/never has been any evidence whatsoever for the existence of divine (extraterrestrial) beings or afterlife (multiverse.)
