Can objective morality exist in Atheism?
#76
RE: Can objective morality exist in Atheism?
What would constitute 'exist'? Something tangible we don't yet have evidence 'for'? God just 'is'. To believe in him you believe that he just is. To believe, you need to accept that this isn't something you will ever limit to validatable evidence.

As part of my faith, I believe that Jesus existed as a man, who was also completely God. 'Is' as well as existent in time. (putting aside the trinity question that I know is also a faith stance that of course you could not 'accept' as non validatable)

VOID Wrote:That makes no sense, existence is not an attribute, rather something must have at least one attribute to exist.
With transcendental as an attribute does that infer existence then?

What led me personally to believe in God was the consideration of relevant questions. My actual conversion on the second occasion a couple of years ago was after discussion with a committed atheist considering all the points we currently discuss here. I realised that my logical position had changed and that my personal belief stance was such that it warranted the leap of faith to believe. So I took that leap.
