“yes if the punishment for stealing is worse than the punishment re a penuya then in my worldview it means hashem thinks its worse.”
Even though that is complelty illogical, and goes against what we can see with our eyes (I dont mean literally obviously), even though you concede there ARE exceptions to your worldview. So its not like the “rule” forcing you into this logically untenable position is absolute.
“at the end i think our positions once again are closer than we thought originally”
I couldn’t disagree more I think your position is morally twisted., and an example of lack of critical thinking prevalent in the community I grew up in all disguised as false tzidkus (“simply because i choose to have my morals dictated to me by hkb”h rather than trying to decide myself.”)
I was CERTAIN that by getting you to concede that there were exceptions to the general rule of judging a sin based on severity, (which wasnt easy but I persisted) , you would grant that maybe this was another exception.
I was wrong.
