Divine punishment - there is no Divine punishment but only the consequences of our bad behaviour
Because human beings take so much pleasure in observing the negative aspects of others, in discussing them and deciding how they should be punished, they imagine that God does the same thing. But why do they attribute to God all their own unhealthy tendencies? God does not look at our mistakes: He has better and more beautiful spectacles to behold. You will say: ‘But God punishes human beings because He sees their sins.' No, God does not punish them when they make mistakes. It is they themselves who, through their mistakes, create disorder in their minds, their hearts, and their souls, and these disorders then have negative repercussions in all aspects of their lives. That is the ‘punishment': the consequence of a cause, a destructive and pernicious cause which they themselves have created.
