I did not present my position to convince anyone, therefore there is no burden of proof. The burden of proof is about shifting the assumed conclusion from yourself to an opponent or opponents, but in this I established no opponent or opponents, I simply stated an opinion. Read it again:

I was making a statement of fact about my own opinion, not a challenge to anyone's assumptions. The fact that you responded to this as if I'd laid out an objective truth in order to convince people tells me you ignored the syntax completely and were just looking for confrontation. The only logical opposition to my statement would be if you believed that my opinion wasn't that the Jesus character was liberal. Since me stating my own opinion truthfully is naturally assumed, the burden has been met.
Everything after that was me explaining my own opinion. Here's a question for you: if you're trying to change my opinion, who does the burden fall on? I'll give you a hint, it's you.
