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.
