I think it's important to recognize that the basic tenets of biblical morality (e.g., The Ten Commandments) are not original to the Judeo-Christian scriptures, although I know that this argument is not likely to hold any water with the "divine inspiration" crowd.

Don't get me wrong - I am for freedom of speech as long as it does not attack the Christian faith.
Please please tell me you're a Poe. I can't accept that these kind of views actually exist in 21st Century human minds.

If I was in any non-Christian majority country, I would have respected their predominant faith/non-faith and would have kept quite.
You are not a Christian. Fundamentalists are a corruption of Christianity. You are part of a vocal, ignorant minority that even Jesus said will not enter the kingdom of God.

Actually I'm surprised that militant atheism still exists today in 21st century despite what evil happened throughout the history by atheist leader and still today in communist countries.

I'm Christian and proud of it. I follow what the holy bible are telling us. It's people like you who act unbiblical and ungodly who tries to take over and ruin the world. You are not to judge who will go to heaven or not - now you broke the Biblical law.

You don't follow the Bible, you follow your own corrupted version of what you think the Bible says. The Bible wasn't written in English, or the 21st Century, yet you think those facts are irrelevant to how it is to be interpreted.

You will cherry pick and rationalize away any supposed issue with the Bible just to justify your beliefs.

The most criticized group by Jesus himself was religious conservatives.
