Euthyphro dilemma

Well, since you're not offering up any explanation for how you avoid nihilism, I put you down for the 'ignorant' category.

Ad hominem? If the shoe fits, wear it, babe. I see you're not trying to defend yourself against the charge of being a nihilist. Maybe because you know that's what you are. Faith-based argument? Like what? Chosing to accept the first principles you deny like, oh say, the Principle of Non-Contradiction. Y'all got nothing. Nada. No positive contribution, just jeering from the sidelines like your old pal Hume or boiling your watch while looking at an egg.

Riiigghhhttt...keep telling yourself that. The self-delusion is strong in this one. The only thing that's arbitrary is your brute-fact magical universe that somehow works for no reason at all.

So, no answer for the dilemma then, huh? I didn't think so. You're a waste of time, Neo.
