We are a religious minority,actually. Many people think we have enormous political influence. There is scant evidence for that. But what are your opinions? Serious,please.

Leviticus 27:28-29
No devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast ... shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD. None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

Numbers 31:25-29
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation: And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep: Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.

Judges 11:29-40
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah.... And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.... And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child.... And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back. And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth.... And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed.

Atheists are always being mean to us Christians. Is it only cuz of our beliefs? Because we did nothing to them. Just because we dont believe the same stuff as they do, that gives them no right to be mean or treat us differently. So atheists please answer (and Christians, you can answer too)

I see a few fallacies consistently repeated by theists, I assume they are unaware. So I began wondering what argumentative flaws atheists may use that I overlook.

If you agree: Aren't you being a bit arrogant?

If you disagree: Why do these religions teach things that are different than your own belief? Can there be more than one truth?

Can we follow common rules of courtesy on here?? Can we be tolerant of others even if we disagree? Can we refrain from name calling? Can we have fun without being mean spirited or degrading? Can we show basic respect? For instance, it really isn't respectful to tell someone they are going to burn in hell, nor to refer to the God some people revere as a pixie, or fairy.

...as opposed to others. Wouldn't you like a separate category, for when you want to question and answer members of your group only? Many outsiders act very foolish when it comes to someone else's beliefs.

just because it isn't scientifically true? Isn't it faulty to hold a faith book to the modern standards of science? They are two completely different endeavors, with different purposes. Poetry has meaning, songs have meaning, metaphors, fables, parables etc. have meaning and are True, right?
