Can objective morality exist in Atheism?

Is = be = exist.

Either you believe that he exists or you don't. You're contradicting yourself on almost every post now.

As part of your faith, you make an assertion that something in the physical world occured (Jesus' existence). This is demonstrable and falsifiable, and therefore a valid argument. What you must do now is provide evidence to support such a claim.

It's kind of a buzz word when you try to make the point that he can't exist in reality. Saying he's transcendental doesn't give us any more information about his existence. Here's another term that's perhaps better suited for your description - conceptual.

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.

What were these questions?

And what's all this poppycock about you not having an experience that led you to believe when you obviously illustrated that you did? You got your personal confirmation right here. Just do a little more and say what specific questions drew you to the religion and we'll be on the same page.
