In fact, some sins have far more serious consequences than others. In God's economy, we have all fallen short of his glory, but we generally pay a stiffer price for murder, adultery, etc., than for stealing some paper clips at the office. Pretty logical of him, huh?
Moral relativism. Stealing is stealing, whether it's $1 or $100,000. In the Catholic realm, if you die in a state of unrepentant mortal sin (i.e., you know what you're doing, you know it's a mortal sin, and you do it anyway), you're going to Hell.
