I fear that you are coming very close to passing relative judgement and thus are perilously near to usurping God's authority in adjucating sin. I am not saying you have the right to rank sins relative to one another. Everyone has the right to one's own opinion in this regard, but to boldly claim that a certain sin absolutely and irrevocably leads to an other's damnation is contrary to Christ's teachings. -Jeff Fields
