You don;t. 2 You believe in god dignity, not human dignity. You believe in some sort of god enforced in-equality, not human equality. 3 OFC you agree with Nietzche..because deep down you're an incurable nihilist.
(my numbers)
1. Some secular humanists have indeed proposed various approaches to support their professed principles, such as utilitarianism, "veil of ignorance" etc. I have yet to find one that directly supports the professed principles in such a way that they cannot also justify fascist ideas like eugenics. So yes, I disagree which is why I am of the opinion that secular humanism is without warrant.
2. You apparently do not have a fair grasp of what I believe. Perhaps you should find someone who does embrace those ideas so you can argue with them instead.
3. If I agreed with Nietzsche that "God is Dead", which I did at one time, I would be a nihilist, which I accepted. I no longer agree with Nietzsche and am no longer a nihilist.
