(...) Before I start, I'd like to say that there is no "super-bad" sin. All sin is considered equal in the eyes of God (except perhaps blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Matthew 12:31.

Your suggestion is valid, no flames to you for making it. But it's a fun debate, even though it's plowing the same old ground. Debates end when the people in them get tired of them, not before.
