7. I'll contort the question to make it easier to understand.
If objective morality does not exist, what are talking about here? Also, why would we talk about a nonexistaent idea? Additionally, how would we conceptualize this nonexistent thing in order to talk about it to begin with?

You can't confuse this with the "Does God exist?" argument because it's not a question of the existence of a deity, but that of the existence of an idea. Once you acknowledge your understanding of what we both agree to be this idea, BAM!! It exists. Sort of a "cognito ergo sum" argument.
