Where other Religions like Hinduism, Buddism, Islam and other ancient religions prevails, if the propaganda of Christian Missionaries is a menace, can the following words of LORD GOD of OT applicable?
"Suppose your own full brother, your son, your daughter, your beloved wife, or your closest friend should seduce you secretly and encourage you to go and serve other gods that neither you nor your ancestors 1 have previously known, the gods of the surrounding people (whether near you or far from you, from one end of the earth to the other). You must not give in to him or even listen to him; do not feel sympathy for him or spare him or cover up for him. Instead, you must kill him without fail! Your own hand must be the first to strike him and then the hands of the whole community. You must stone him to death because he tried to entice you away from the LORD"

This is not there in the Old Testament of the Bible. Can you tell where you got this from?.
There are clear instructions in the OT for loving and serving the Lord God only and not to worship idols. But this statement you have quoted about killing others in this context I have not seen.

Christianity predates Islam, so Islam is not an "ancient religion." The god of the Old Testament is a megalo-maniacal tyrant. This is the Judeo-Christian-Islamic god. You can have him. I want no part of genocide, infanticide, and fratricide, thank you.

To the casual observer, "Holy Bible is worse than Holy Quran, which also insists on killing non believers"(?)
If you look deep, you will appreciate that "really true religion"should hold its position high above superstitious beliefs and illogical stories about gods , goddesses and their children!"
If they refuse to compare and decide the believable from the unbelievable, the they could be burnt at stakes

No they are not, nor are they the words of Christianity. They were written long before Jesus walked upon the Earth. He gave us a new commandment, that we Love one another, as Our Heavenly Father loves us.

I have to wonder what the purpose is of a religion that encourages you to judge the purpose of another person and take control of his/her life by ending it. And for the record, I'm not a christian.

In some countries you only get gaol for converting. In other countries the punishment is more Biblical.

Is this texts really in the Bible?? well its an OT thing, and it has been superseded with the NT, so we should consider the love for others first. but if in that way we can probe to them that we love them, then so be it... after all its the word of God.
i dunno, the other side of me says its kind rude and barbaric..
