I find it hard to believe that stealing a person's life savings is the same as taking a paper clip from work.
Both are stealing, but the effects are very different.
By that example alone, I believe some sins are definitely worse than others.
Some have serious consequences, some have none.
Some sins takes a very depraved person to commit, others are every day events.

I find it hard to believe that stealing a person's life savings is the same as taking a paper clip from work.

In the eyes of God, they are the same, because the difference between the person who is willing to steal a paper clip and the person who is willing to steal a person's life is courage: a coward will only steal a little thing.

The question that most people are concerned with is not whether all sins are equal, but whether the societal effects of all sins are equal, and the answer is that the effects are evidently not equal. The law reflects this, because its punishments are not equal. God's grace, however, is greater than our sin--any sin--but His redemption is necessary for our sin, regardless of the effect of the sin upon (transitory, bound to eventually perish) society.
