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

Ubiq your posts are all garbled..
Do I agree there are exceptions?
Sure!!
I wrote that straight out and elaborated on it and even said that that would make our positions closer than originally thought.
Do I agree this is an exception?
No. Why would I?
As I said I agree it’s an exception when there is a mekor.
A gemorah, a rishon,
But just a gut feeling?
Well then it’s not a rule at all.
It just so happens to work out that most of the time your gut happens to agree that “look at that!” the sin with the worse punishment, in my infallible gut, is also the worse sin. But as soon as it doesn’t seem right to me, then I say nope! I’m this case the lighter punishment is the worse sin. That means you are really always being the arbiter of severity.
Just most of the time your opinion and hashems judgement seem to be matching logically.
I prefer to defer judgment to the creator.

Is it worse to say לש”הר them to be מאנס פנויה ?
Well I’d say yes
I can’t prove it but how about if I shift it slightly?
What’s worse רכילות which is really similar to לשה-‘ר or מאנס?
ע’ספר ח”ח רכילות א-ד
שש הנה שנא ה ושבע תועבות נפשו
ומשלח מדהים בין אחים
ואמרו חזל דזוהי השביעי ק מכולם

Yes as I said before
As bad as you feel rape is, and it is, לשה”ר is worse.
Why does that bother you?
Simply because we all are נכשול in לשה”ר constantly so we’ve lost our sensitivity to it.
But In reality you know how bad it is?? It’s worse than raping a פנויה בעולה !!!!
