Unless you can clearly explain what the problem is (which you still haven't been able to, notice), I don't see a point.
Atheism may be built on empty sloganeering. But in the real world, you need substance.
I did not think that someone extolling their knowledge of epistemology would have a problem with my use of "Hume's guillotine". It was used for economy with the false assumption that you would understand its meaning. After expressing your confusion I used plain language referring to the same idea as the problem of is/ought. You still don't seem to understand.
You don't know what you claim to. Despite your continued belligerent, condescending and insulting tone I have continued to stretch my hand in an effort to help lift you from the ignorance you are wallowing in only to be bitten. You have proven yourself to be wholly unreasonable and have demonstrated a severely misplaced and significantly exaggerated estimation of intellectual self-worth.
I know precision of thought is not very popular here, but what, and how exactly, are you invoking the is-ought problem?
