God doesn't do magic. The universe is subject to laws and he works within the laws he created.

The laws of the universe do not require a human being to die in order that other human beings to not burn for eternity. This is delusional thinking.

We keep him in jail so he can't murder anyone else. This is a far cry from the Christian idea that humans suffer for eternity for their sin or that some god-man had to die so some of them wouldn't have to suffer.
