Your second point "I fel as though all and any sin is the same in God's eyes" brings up some interesting ethical questions.
If what you say is true then should we remove a pastor who breaks the law by driving too fast and gets a speeding ticket? If the sin is the same in God's eyes as adultery shouldn't we treat all sins the same?
I think it is incorrect to say that all and any sin is the same in God's eyes. I believe all sin is wrong, bad, etc and God disapproves of all sin. However clearly there are distinctions between a person who gets a speeding ticket, a person committing adultery, and a pedophile. All have done wrong in God's eyes, all have sinned, but certainly each of those sins has a very different set of results that occur because of the sin and each should be treated in a vastly different way than the others.

I don't believe it would be wise to put sins in little separate compartments or to gauge them in degrees. The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death." It doesn't categorize them, it simply applies to all sin.
I would agree that the results of some sins have greater effects than others, i.e. murder and theft. But at the end of the day, all sin separates us from God.
