‘Let God judge them’ is the basest possible nonsense. When human beings commit acts that human morals and human laws have determined to be unacceptable, it is for human beings - and no one else - to sit in judgement. To state otherwise is the equivalent of advocating for the abandonment of police, courts, and penal systems. It is an argument to never punish murderers, rapists, spousal abusers, or child molesters.
