I did logic too, as well as philosophy of language, science, aesthetics, Buddhism, religion and ethics as mentioned. I was perhaps one or two units away from a minor in philosophy.
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.
