The blanket statement that sin is sin and it'll all take you to hell anyways so it's all the same has always been an ignorant thing for someone to say. God understands the intent and sees the ending when all we see through is a dark glass.

It's exactly the opposite. Finite humans quantify sin, especially the West.

In the eyes of God, acting out in a way that displeases God, that disobeys him is all the same. Our unrighteousness is unrighteousness. Not good unrighteousness and worse unrighteousness. On a practical level, some sins have greater impact on others, and by their very nature have practical consequences that are greater. But in a spiritual sense, the load of guilt is all the same to God.
