Here are several of my views...

1. Christians are a bunch of backwoods hicks.
When you try to make a point across them the reply:"The Lord moves in mysterious ways."
If I got a dollar for every time I've heard that, I would be a trillionare.

2. God is just like Santa or the Easter Bunny.

3. The universe wasn't made by a bunch of magic tricks.

4. War is not the answer.

5. Darwin is correct.

6. Humans can solve their own problems without "God" reaching down with a big fat hand and helping us!

7. Christians are lazy because they take the easy way out instead of learning so the say "God did it".
Anybody seen a simpsons episode like that?

If you are a Christian and think I'm wrong, call 503-KISS-MYASS.

Can't disagree with you, welcome.

1. is a baseless assumption, perhaps the Christians you've spoken with. If you can't have an open mind, then you're just as bad as those "hicks" you're attacking.
2. yoiu're entitled to that opinion, I would expect no less from an atheist.
3. agreed
4.agreed
5. On what points?
6. agreed
7.see 1

an apatheist I presume or a militant hard atheist?

Welcome, religionsucks. Other than the gross generalizations, I agree with you.

Do you have anything to support this statement?

2. God is just like Santa or the Easter Bunny.

I disagree. Is Gandalf just like Harry Potter because they are both fictional characters that know magic?

3. The universe wasn't made by a bunch of magic tricks.

On what evidence do you have to make this assertion? I was under the impression that we have a lack of evidence for the position that 'the universe was made by a bunch of magic tricks'... without any evidence to the contrary.

4. War is not the answer.

To what question? :S

5. Darwin is correct.

What about?

6. Humans can solve their own problems without "God" reaching down with a big fat hand and helping us!

Not necessarily. If we are already presuming this 'God' to exist, it would have to depend on how it is defined, and further its relation to humans and their ability to solve problems.

7. Christians are lazy because they take the easy way out instead of learning so the say "God did it".

I am not a christian, and my opinion is that you are wrong.

All of them? How...?

2. God is just like Santa or the Easter Bunny.

Ehm... On what points are "God" like "Santa" or "Easter Bunny"...?

3. The universe wasn't made by a bunch of magic tricks.

Depends on what you mean by "magic"...

4. War is not the answer.

What was the question?

5. Darwin is correct.

He's correct on... What?

6. Humans can solve their own problems without "God" reaching down with a big fat hand and helping us!

Probably, yes...

7. Christians are lazy because they take the easy way out instead of learning so the say "God did it".

Realy now...

If you are a Christian and think I'm wrong, call 503-KISS-MYASS.

I'm not, and i think your wrong on some points.

Oh...

Amazing. That has got to be one of the crappiest lists of assertions and vague statements I've seen in a long while.

Welcome tot the forums, religionsucks, I hope you enjoy your stay.

[Edwardo Piet]

Welcome.

I agree more so with the sentiments of your post and less so with the specifics

1. Christians are a bunch of backwoods hicks.

It's been my experience that less than 1% of Christians are a bunch of backwoods hicks. It's also been my experience that roughly the same percentage of atheists fall in that category too. I don't think there is a particular correlation; I just think there are quite a few backwoods hicks out there.

2. God is just like Santa or the Easter Bunny.

I don't believe God exists. I have yet to make my mind up about Santa and the Easter Bunny (hey, at least I got actual presents from them).

3. The universe wasn't made by a bunch of magic tricks.

Ridiculous. Everyone knows the Big Bang was in the top hat...next to the rabbit.

4. War is not the answer.

True. Unless the question is "By what method do humans fuck everything up?"

5. Darwin is correct.

About natural selection, yeah. I think that was about the scope of his abilities.

6. Humans can solve their own problems without "God" reaching down with a big fat hand and helping us!

Well I've never heard of God reaching down with a big fat hand and helping out, so I guess you win this one by default. If I recall correctly, the last time God tried to help out, he sent his only son down to be viciously murdered, and if I'm quite honest, I don't think it helped that much.

7. Christians are lazy because they take the easy way out instead of learning so the say "God did it".

Dude, we have Sundays off and you think Christians are the lazy ones? What planet are you living on?!?

Actually the rabbit is what banged the buggering shithole into existence. It's my life story really.
