You may think you can imagine 'supernatural punishment' into existence but you can't. If it makes you feel better in some way about the human condition, then good for you. I welcome and hope for the capture, imprisonment and punishment of murderers.
That makes you wonder just how many people have to be murdered before a deity who might be watching all that slaughter, just how many would it take before this deity steps in and says enough already? 1 billion?
My feeling is the entire human race could be killed off and there would still be no peep from a deity, simply because, assuming there IS a deity, we are not important enough to worry about anything to do with humanity.
To me, the most likely thing is there is no deity looking at or over or whatever, of the human race at all and we are just obsessing about deities over nothing whatsoever.
