No, his fear of imaginary retaliation stops him from murdering. All he’s saying is “if I could still get into heaven I’d be killing all of you.” Doesn’t matter that God is real or not, his imagination is keeping him in check (thankfully.)
This is actually what religion was meant for. Keeping those that believe it and are psychos in check.
As others are saying though, it looks awfully fake lol
As far as the question of what God, “we” would say any and all God’s don’t exist. There is no “correct” religion, unless you think a bear is your God then I can’t exactly deny the existence of bears, I just wouldn’t think they created the universe and left themselves as bears lol
I’d say it’s a combination of the things you suggested as far as what stops them exactly, this person could believe that their lack of a desire to kill was God stopping them, or it could be the fear of consequences in the afterlife, but there is definitely a fear of consequences from their fellow citizens. I live with that last sentiment as well: this is all we get so I want to be “good” to all those around me, not for fear of negative consequences for me, but the consequences of my actions creating a more negative experience for those around me. If God is real and is just then he’ll judge my actions, not whether I believed he exists or not. If he does judge me for that, well I’ll take it, I wouldn’t care to be on that kind a of petty asshats good side anyway.
Either way, if I have to live in a world with religion I’m at least happy that it brings some people solace and it stops nutjobs from acting out (mostly.)

His 40 virgins are waiting for him on the other-side so he has to “play” by the rules even if he doesn’t like it.
Those are for Muslims though, if this guy were real he’d hate them too lol
Someone should photoshop a Toyota logo and an Arabic translation on this. :p
