Lol, saying that the severity of the sin doesn't matter basically equates to saying that the sin itself doesn't matter. If a kid skips doing his/her daily household chores on purpose, then he/she is clearly committing a sin so trivial that it probably can't even be considered a sin. If he/she feels guilty enough about the deed though, then he/she is fair game in the Rider's eyes for punishment. Tell me something; do you actually think that white lies and illegal downloads are worse sins compared to killing someone in one instance and standing idly by while a person dies in another? Honest to god question. Because what you've been implying in your posts is highly contradictory; on one hand you say that the act is what matters. On the other hand you say that Superman will get a free pass for committing murder, which is very clearly a pretty horrible act. Basically speaking, your post stinks of awful logic.
Translation: I can't come up with a counter argument to the blatantly obvious KO so I'm gonna shitpost.
What I'm saying is that the severity of the sin doesn't matter, but there must be some kind of sin, otherwise you don't fall into Ghost Rider's definition of wicked. Is that clear enough? The kid's feelings would be irrelevant, if he did something wrong, even minor, he would be fair game. If feelings mattered then presumably someone like those guys that were beating the kid from Spirit of Vengeance would be immune to the PS simply because they don't have a sense of morality, and we know that's not the case. As for Superman, what he did is not wrong or illegal. He did not kill Zod in cold blood, he was begging him to stop, but Zod didn't listen, and would have killed a family. In the real world under the same circumstances a cop would be fully justified to kill Zod. It would have been morally wrong for Superman to let Zod kill the family just so he doesn't have to get his hands dirty.
