On just a surface level of the here and now, some actions have more destructive consequences than others.
If you slap someone on the nose because you want to hurt them, their nose may bleed some. However, if you take a shotgun and blow their leg off at the knee, the consequence is much greater. Your punishment should be greater because the offense is greater.
I can't help but think that without heterosexual fornication becoming so prevalent, homosexual fornication would have stayed in the closet as well.
I remember the 1960s very well. Under the guise of Vietnam war protest and free speech and the "America is evil" nonsense (and many other frauds), the fornication wave kicked out and rejected Biblical morality. If you did not know it before, only conservative Christians had enough guts to fight this plague, but a rather nasty enemy tied the Christian's hands. The supreme court (especially beginning in the 1950s Earl Warren court), habitually and illegally rewrote the constitution to overthrow the very laws that had helped hold back the fornication and pornography plague that we now live with.
In other words the anti-Bible side cheated with aid from the ACLU.
This same spirit of Bible rejection also gave us another gift, 'the drug culture' that we still live with today.
Yes, this Bible rejection has indeed opened the door to the justification, celebration and proliferation of homosexuality. The Bible is mocked today without fear or shame.
Well, to a human mind, yes, it should. But see also post 836....I think the New Testament does say that any sin, if unforgiven, is enough to condemn one to Hell.
I definitely agree that some sins are more destructive than others.
