Please look at this link: http://www.google.com
and compare it to http://www.bing.com
What did you notice? Google once again is slapping Christians in the face by not representing our holidays. While they will celebrate Muslim holidays and ignore Good Friday in favor of a writer that died decades ago (or was it centuries), bing.com honors the Christian holidays and gives insight into our traditions and faith.
If you don't start using Bing.com they can't improve their search engine to be better than google's. They need the trafic volume so they can analyze the searches to imporve them (as google does). Bing.com is pretty good and I use it as first try. If it fails then I may try google.com.

Sure they do.
I use bing most of the time. Use google very little now.
I download the Firefox search tool. Google is history. Bing from now on.
Sounds like an excuse to cover a losing argument.
Ok, thanks for the clarification.
Bing runs on Windows and Google runs on Linux. Is Windows more Christian than Linux?
Is that supposed to be sarcastic? If so how about prove your point. I can prove mine.
? what’s the losing argument? That Bill Gates is no longer involved in Microsoft?
The OS has nothing to do with what the search engine presents the consumer. The issue is what google and Microsoft does with their search engine that matters.
If Microsoft hid bad info about Muslims and downplayed Christian holidays then I’d say don’t use Bing. It doesn’t matter if it’s running on Windows, Linux, Unix, or OS X.
The losing argument that it is somehow morally more palatable for a Christian to use Bing than Google.
Ok so you don’t mind that google hides Christian holidays and while it protects Muslims.
Got it. And that’s fine, but I think many here will agree with me.
Post 51 answered. I see it’s about Easter, but not about the Christian Easter. Still, I suppose it’s better than nothing, certainly better than Google!
I’d rather be offended than contribute to the slaughter of innocent pre-born people. The two don’t compare. I’ll takes substance over silly any day.
I think you're missing something important in how Google decides whether to do a doodle on a given day, and what to doodle about.
Google's doodles are NOT a bloody calendar that's SUPPOSED to mark important dates. Think about that aspect for a second.
They're not doing doodles for your benefit, nor mine, nor anybody else's. They're doing it to point out interesting events, sometimes obvious ones (like religious holidays or national/world anniversaries), sometimes obscure ones (like birthdays of long-dead composers or scientists). It's totally random, as far as I can tell.
Google has NO obligation to be a calendar of events that are important to you or me.
The fact that Bing chose to note Easter this year only means that Bing is a decade behind Google (which first marked Easter in 2000).
You're reading far too much into this non-issue. Get over it.
That's blatantly false ("hiding" and "protecting"). There's no evidence for that whatsoever.
You're just trolling, and I recommend that you stop it, because you're dealing with religion, and becoming offensive.
Yeah, I see. Thanks. Kinda sad, though, eh?
Show me where MICROSOFT supports killing pre-born children?
Really? It's offensive for Bing to put links to information about Easter? Wow...I think I've heard it all now.
> Really? It's offensive for Bing to put links to information about Easter? Wow...I think I've heard it all now.
LOL, that comment is SO totally confused, it doesn't even make it up to the level of "wrong".
Put down the mouse and back slowly away from the keyboard... :)
See ya later on another thread; this one's dead.
