Meh, not really. That might be all that matters to a person committed to excusing a tyrant regardless of their actions...but thankfully that isn't "all that's important" by anyone else's measure. There are plenty of places on this earth where a truly heinous person can be convicted of something despite the system being incapable of following through with a sentence. Whether or not it's within the power of the judging body to act upon that judgement very little to do with the accuracy of the judgement itself. Things don't become "okay" because any given group is incapable of acting. Your god would fall into this category if it existed. A criminal entity which we are wholly incapable of punishing regardless of how damning the indictment or how sound the evidence the prosecution presents. This would make the situation worse, not better. The only thing salvaging this whole silly affair is that your god doesn't exist, so there isn't some cosmically powerful psychopath running around doing horrible shit to people over millenia immune from any responsibility for or consequence of their actions.
The world might be a shitty place sometimes, but it's not quite -that- shitty.
