Reply To: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment?

So, according to you. We have two people one has 2 kids the other has one. Both sacrificed one kid. The one who has no other kids act is not as bad (less than stealing a pen) than the one who has another. Correct?
Incorrect. We have plenty of sources to tell us otherwise. Why would I ignore all of them.
You mean maybe to ask what would I say if the sources were not there?
Well I’d have the same reaction as they did.
How can it possibly be so that this is less severe than that??
Only I would not have the ability to be koveyah that it’s not so, but rather it’s more severe so…
Seems like I’m on the same page as the gemorah?, rishonim, et al.
According to you what is even the question.
Of course it’s worse. Aye why no punishment? I don’t know. Who cares
Move on.
