Bing is a search engine that is promoted by MicroSoft that uses many graphics.
It works okay with most screen readers but the layout is different than other
search engines.
The worst part about it is that oftentimes your search engine of choice is
hijacked by MicroSoft and you are switched to Bing as their revenues from it
have been under expectation so they are doing a major promotion job.

Miriam:
In my exposition I was simply adding (placing or putting in) my concept of
your opinion. Google, of course, is entitled to their opinion. I am
extremely pleased to find that you searched for other definitions. The
next time try Bing as well as Google. The answers obtained are a function
of the questions asked by the search engine. I often find that repeated or
varied searches report opinions rather than definitions.

Oh no, I did what you do. I googled it after writing my definition
and the
results are in two posts of mine and Google agrees with me!

Miriam:
The correct definition (in your opinion and experience) being your
comment
in the following paragraph. However, Carl is on a different wave
length
than you and he expresses his opinion (based upon his opinion and
experience).
Pax vobiscum.

with our
ages, I
suppose.

All:
Why worry. Carl is comfortable with his concept of God and
His
creation. I
am comfortable with his holding that idea and wish him luck.

Chuck,

It's been a long running discussion. Carl insists
that God
is a
concept made
up by man, but he also insists that he's an
agnostic. Roger
and I
have been
telling him, perhaps for more than a year, that he's
an
atheist.

As a hard-core atheist I would agree with this
definition. I
just
happened
to catch this message as I am way behind in emails
so I
haven't been
following much lately. An Agnostic is someone who in
simple
terms
doesn't
know whether there is a god or any other deities or
who
doesn't want
to
commit to such a statement. I will have to go back
and try
to find
Carl's
original post. Arm out of sling as of doctor's
appointment
today so
I may be
more regular again on the computer.

from Google

Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of
gods; it
is a lack
of
belief in gods. Older dictionaries define atheism as
"a
belief that
there is
no God."


Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of
belief in the
existence of
deities.[1][2] In a narrower sense, atheism is
specifically
the
position
that there are no deities.inclusively, atheism is
the
absence of
belief that
any deities exist.[ It seems to me that this
describes your
belief.
That is
why I say that you are not an agnostic.

Miriam
