Scary claims of God's punishments

This is Karma, she'll be ten in December:

Awwww.... I can't bring myself to debunk such a pretty wittle face like that.

@ OP: That's why karma will never be debunked.

There is a very minor form of "social karma" in play.  People who regularly behave badly tend to lose friends and acquaintances, leaving them without support when they're experiencing difficulties.  No gods required - we tend to be attracted to some people and repelled by others, depending on how they act.

"Tend to" being the operative phrase. Plenty of assholes with tons of friends and endless wealth. Tons of good natured people getting the shaft. It'd be nice if the scales of justice automatically fixed the universe, but it looks like we're tasked with correcting the problem.
