Sacred Scripture does, in fact, have a scale of "really bad" sins.
For more information, look into the seven deadly sins[1], sins that cry to heaven for vengeance and sins against the Holy Spirit[2].
There is also a passage in one of the epistles of the Apostle St. John:
"If a man knows his brother to be guilty, yet not of such a sin as brings death with it, he should pray for him; and, at his request, life will be granted to the brother who is sinning, yet not fatally. There is a sin which kills; it is not over this that I bid him fall to prayer. Sin may be wrong-doing of any kind; not all sin is fatal." (1 John 5:16-17)[3]
