I hate to tell you this, but there isn't a ranking of sins in the Bible. Although some of us may find homosexuality more repulsive than lying (and that actually could be argued against very convincingly, using Clinton as an example), as far as I know God views sin as equally repugnant, since all sins are demonstration of absence of God.

Do you have a list? How does smoking rank compared to drinking? Is adultery less or more sinful than fornication? Is embezzlement better than shoplifting?

I think you need to explain this to me, as I don't see how some sins are better than others.

I believe that there is, but my opposition is not based on a ranking of sins. (Some sins are abominations to God, some are not.)

All people sin. Not everyone lives a lifestyle of it. Do a search for "reprobate mind" www.bible.com

Romans.
