If it's possible to stop an evildoer without causing suffering to them, this is preferable to stooping to their level.

Existential fallacy:  There is no empirical evidence that any all-knowing being exists; therefore, it's pointless to discuss its alleged morality.

Good and evil are value judgements.  Value judgements are subjective, not objective.  Morality that comes from a god is also subjective, not objective.

Then why are you here?  This is a discussion forum for atheists and agnostics.
