You can dismiss the Bible with or without evidence, obviously you know this, but if you publicly criticize it the burden is upon you. You fail in this.No, thats not how the burden of proof works. The has to be actual evidence of the truth of the bible before I have to disprove it. And if any believer, such as yourself, claims its truth then the burden is on you. The default position is non-truth until any evidence for truth is shown. IF the bible then really does show evidence of its truth (and it never has so far and I don't see how it could really), THEN the burden of proof moves to me. And the atheists. Until then the burden of proof is on you and the bible. The burden of proof is on the believer.
By your logic then that means you have to disprove the flying spaghetti monster rather than a believer in the FSM to have to prove it?
And that the burden of proof is on you to disprove the 'truth' of the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
