  4.  @timfrye3586  And your evidence for one source being historical? The fact that it is the Rise and Fall, and it should be revered you say. Your evidence for Peikoff's book being counterhistorical? The fact that a particular man wrote it.

I was hoping that you would instruct me in the nature of piety and impiety; and then I might have cleared myself of Meletus and his indictment. I would have told him that I had been enlightened by Euthyphro, and had given up rash innovations and speculations, in which I indulged only through ignorance, and that now I am about to lead a better life.
