Who is fearful of devine punishment because he can't say amen in Macbeth?
At this point int the play, Macbeth has just committed a terrible crime: murder. Back in those days, Catholicism was big, and "Amen" was like a nice little blessing to finish off a prayer. We know that Macbeth eventually goes mad over what he has done, and this is where it may have begun. He is so ashamed of the terrible thing he has done, that he believes himself to be undeserving of the blessing of the word "Amen". Murder, being a disgrace to God, would have been almost unforgivable in those days. I also absoloutly freakin love chocolate icing on a chocolate caramel and custard cake. Like sereals WOW!

What does the fact reveal that Macbeth forgot to place the dagger on the guards?
Macbeth was clearly disturbed by the murder of Duncan and the fact that he was unable to pray (to pronounce the word "Amen") when the grooms prayed. This caused him to forget the plan that Lady Macbeth had concocted.
