Lying when my wife asks me if those jeans make her butt look fat = not as bad. Stealing a freezer of meat because I don't want to pay but want meat = bad, stealing a freezer of meat to feed starving homeless = not as bad. Man rapes a woman = bad, man rapes a ewe = not as bad????? Each person/society will have a different take on where the action lies on the morality scale. Your still thinking in absolutes, stop it. 

Free will does exist. It does not exist in the presence of an omniscient god, inside or outside of time.

To be clear,  understand some things are worse than others and some things are a grey area. That's not what I was saying.
 
If morals have grey areas then they are not objective/absolute.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
