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.

I have no problem with Carl's position on God. I just want him to use the
correct definition of his position. But, as he has so clearly indicated to
me, he and I are equally stubborn. It has something to do 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.

Subject: [blind-democracy] for Carl, Atheism
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.
