You're not good at explaining it, because there's no rational causation for you to believe in god. You simply do. If you've proven anything from the other thread "Can Atheists Convert Theists?" thread, you've proven that you're either unwilling or unable to rationalize your beliefs, thus you rationalize that by saying you're not good at explaining it. The reason you can't explain your beliefs properly is because your mind can't really make that leap in any rational or logical sense and whenever you try to sit down and think about it, you draw a blank.
The burden of proof is still on anyone claiming god to exists, because it's a postulation without due evidence or even reason.
