The fact you can pull shit out of your pocket proves nothing. I can play that game too: (d) squirrels.
The fact that I can answer with "neither" does indeed demonstrate that the dichotomy is false.
Here's you agreeing with me previously:

I know what a false dichotomy is. That's not in dispute. I know option c *could be* 'neither'. That's not in dispute.What's in dispute is your unsupported *reasoning* for option c. I asked you time and time again to either work through both horns logically, or explain to me how it's logically 'neither'. You failed time and time again to explicate your absurdity. I saved you from the embarrassment by pointing out you were speaking like a closet theist, blindingly saying 'neither' and how that's what the theist would say (without adequate justification). Yesterday was a disgrace to atheistic philosophy - seeing you failing to recognise (a) what the argument is doing and (b) you not realising you're attacking your own side. Now go read a book or something, I'm done wasting time on this.
My bolding.
So are you aware of your self-contradiction yet?

You're attempting to undermine an atheistic argument with the atheistic conclusion to said atheistic argument. It's like saying the problem of evil is not sound because the mere situation it describes implies a god.
It's neither because there are no gods.

Your mind is demonstrably contradictory. Mine is not. I do no want to stop. It's futile to keep asking me to. You respond, I respond. Fair is fair. You don't have to respond. We both choose to.
