Surely, if someone is doing a sin:

1) God already knows this, why does it need pointing out?
2) God is well equipped to deal with it himself. Why do we need your judgement too?
3) The person is already going to receive the suitable punishment after they die. Why does God need you to also hassle and inconvenience them during this life?

In other words: if I'm sinning, it's between me and God. Keep your beak out. Just like if I'm upsetting Superman. You really don't need to get involved. It's not like I'm yelling abuse at someone who can't take care of themselves.
