The obvious follow up being this thread only exists to bash religion and cause arguments.
Not at all. READ IT AGAIN. It is about a con man who duped the ignorant into supporting him.

Itchy we have a couple of religion threads where debate among the merits of various Faiths including Atheism are discussed...Perhaps that is where you should go to debate the merits of Atheism???
I cared not for David Bowie's lifestyle....When he passed and we had a thread to offer our condolences I did not come on there and say, "What a creepy, two different colored eyes, cross dressing freak he was..."
I said, "RIP Mr. Bowie...Your musical contributions in my lifetime were legion..Godspeed Ziggy Stardust..."
We have the threads where Faith can be discussed openly..I hope to see you in one...
I can't watch this without choking up...It's got me ever since I was a kid...

I don't want to bash religion. I just want people to think about the probability that maybe, there isn't a God.

I'd be surprised to find out there has ever been a person who hasn't. When you make statements like "praying to an imaginary figure" you are bashing religion and it is extremely insulting to those who believe. All I'm saying is that it isn't necessary. You're free to believe or not believe whatever you'd like, if you try to belittle people based on their beliefs you can expect to some aggravation.
I've got no problem fervently disagreeing with people about a wide variety of topics, when it comes to religion I choose to show respect.
You are not a Bible scholar. There is a point we agree on. Context is everything. If I were to pull a biblical quote to counter your interpretation it would be "The Lord delights in the prosperity of His servants."
Jeffrey Dahmer thought about it. Here's what he had to say... "if a person doesn’t think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what’s the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges?"
I don't care. The man did a lot of good for a lot of people.
So now atheist gun owners are lumped in with school shooters and serial killers. How broad does that brush actually stroke?
There's another stellar assumption.
For the record, I own guns that would be banned and I've taught my children to shoot them. Does that sound like something I would say now? I was referring to the Christians who hope to convert non Christians. Thanks though.

But there's no civil tolerance for non believers?
As I said I am NOT a bible scholar. Looks like you may be, or did you just come from a family that supported that TV fraud?
