You just go into your Google account, or if you don't have one, you set
up one. You fill out your preferences and if you indicate that you want
Google to do so it will follow an algorithm in the future that takes
account of all your past searches and/or your browsing history to give
you results and to sort your results to conform to what you are most
likely to be interested in. I notice that at the bottom of a Google page
there is a link to do the search over as if you had not had it
configured to give you personalized results if you want to.

It normally comes packaged with Windows as the default search engine. I was
used to Google and, besides, I had Google configured to give me personalized
results, so I found myself going to Google.com for all my searches anyway.
When I learned how to replace Bing with Google as my default search through
the Blind Tech list list I did that and now all I have to do to search with
Google is to type my search terms into my browser address bar.

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
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.

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.

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

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.
