Okay, let's say I am sued for saying that Santa killed the Easter Bunny.

And, I know this isn't true. In defending myself, I would have to PROVE that the statement I made is TRUE.

Failing that, I would lose in court.

Innocent until proven guilty. THEY'd have to prove what you said wasn't true. They'd have to prove you wrong. Until then, Santa is assumed to have killed the Easter bunny.

If I post here, It's my opinion. Prove to the court it isn't. According to the bottom of the page, which agrees with me, it is my opinion. Where does it say it's not an opinion page?

I don't think that is quite right. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff to show that your statement was false. Truth is an absolute defense.
