“If one chooses to murder young children,
they will suffer the consequences.”
Of course! No one can do wrong, that is, violate the truth, and get away with it. But no one in this world is appointed “protector of the truth.” Reality cannot be defied. Anyone who thinks reality needs their protection is essentially psychotic. If God determines something is wrong, God is capable of executing justice in all cases of violations of His laws and does not require human interference in that execution, unless you believe your God is not so capable.

“God is capable of executing justice in all cases of violations of His laws and does not require human interference in that execution, unless you believe your God is not so capable..”
A false dilemma? God being able to do something is not the issue, but your premise that He has left all actual executions of justice up His own actions is, in the Bible. While God can easily make toast out of a country, “Am i my brother’s keeper” is answered in the affirmative.
(Prov 24:11-12) “If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; {12} If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?”
