I think he uses lightening. My wonderful father imagines it is more of a flame. What do you think?

Here and elsewhere I have dared god to smite me. So far I think he's using old age for his smiting.

Lightning is pretty dramatic. Usually His approach is more subtle such as with His divine creation the malarium plasmodium, delivered by a tiny little Anopheles mosquito. And sometimes it is cruelly ironic, smiting a lottery winner with a stroke.

If God does exist, I don't imagine him smiting people at all or even caring about what we do. Assuming God exists, I think deism is the most plausible explanation.

Realistically, I have no idea. But, I always think it is funny to imagine a great big thumb coming down out of the sky and smushing the offending party.

He doesn't. The laws of nature are beating us and eternal time are consuming us. The material body is the source of all miseries. But the same body in the human form of life is the way out of this world.

I use a swift slap across the forehead.
I'm not sure what God uses. In the Bible he uses fire from the sky and plagues. I think there is something new and more bloody planned in Revelation because it talks about his skirt being bloodstained.

Oh lots of ways. My favorite is sending bears to kill kids like in 2 Kings 2:23-24

I don't know why, but I always imagine a person being hit with a kind of thin wooden stick

I'd like to imagine a rolled up towel and a flick on the behind.
But apparently, it's death and eternal pain and suffering.
Nice!
