The weight of supposed Sins (Absurd)

[slyracoon]

Something has been on my mind the past couple of days and has driven me crazy for the most part. Sinning claims to have the same immoral weight with any sin, whether its murder or theft, and one can be forgiven (hypothetically) by "God" if they truly show remorse for their actions. But lets take 911, a terrorist attack that was claimed to be justified by Al Qaeda as the will of "God" (or Allah, which is arabic for god). They practically committed Genocide, but if they were truly remorseful of their actions then they would be forgiven? And also, committing Genocide carries the same weight as stealing a pack of gum? (In the eyes of Christianity)

Is it me or is this completely absurd?
A lot of people would not regard theft as a terrible thing, but murder is something in this society that people can be condemned to life in prison for. Its so ridiculous that someone can get away with such atrocities (like genocide) and have it come off with the same moral weight as small things such as general shoplifting (like stealing a pack of gum)

Thanks for listening

You do realize you're opting to kill millions. Millions. I get it, you might think of it as a number. But each and every one is a human being. You're saying that simply for either glory/purpose/prestige you intend to forsake a harmless trivial task in favor of actually single-handedly bringing entire cultures into oblivion to suit your own ego! Who DOES that?! If I really knew Hell existed, and that I'd be heading there anyway, I'd choose the path that causes the least initial harm!
