One never knows what the future holds.
The law of karma exists, whether someone believes it or not, or understands it or not. "As you sow, so shall you reap" - sometimes people who identify as Christians think that "karma" is something foreign or not applicable. It's just a law of the universe.
Sometimes it happens immediately, sometimes down the road. But eventually, if one plays with fire, one gets burned. If one practices same sex acts, one has to pay the (heavy) price. If people support such perversity, even at the expense of ordered society, the price is very heavy.
In the universal order, no one ever "gets away" with anything.
Ultimately, justice and mercy are the same thing, and they are inescapable. It has nothing to do with anyone's beliefs.

The only problem with shrugging and relying on "karma" and the notion of "if one plays with fire..." is that along the way a great many innocents get harmed, a great many houses besides that of the arsonist burn down.
