The standard answer is that any God with such commandments is not worthy of worship.

I would concur with you. But Religions are interpretations of faith made by men.

All I know is that I have no desire to worship any Supreme Being that instructs me to force people to worship in the same manner than I do.

HOWEVER, I don't have much problem confronting, and if need be killing, people who egregiously violate the most basic of human values.

And strapping bombs onto children to kill civilians, or beheading non-combatants (or even combatants) kind of makes me get "Medieval".. And I take seriously the threats made by religious militants to forcibly make me convert to their faith.

And I don't mind converting them to worm food before they get the chance.

Same way I feel about child molesters and serial killers and a few others who prey upon the innocent.
