How do atheists rationally know truth from fiction?

Atheists love to live under the delusion that they are the guardians of rationality. But how can they hold this title when they cannot even articulate a rational way to know truth from fiction.

Jesus Christ doesn't exist

I argue it isn't reasonable to assume Jesus exists. Rules: 1. No trolling, kritiks, semantics, etc. 2. No new arguments in the final round. 3. Con is allowed to start his/her arguments round 1 if he/she wishes to. 4. BoP will be shared. With this, who accepts?...

Do not simply leave your argument to the substandard of "Suicide is jus...
