Why play down the **significance of these huge sins
**Key word being ‘‘significance’’ - I pointed out the harsh punishments as a measure of how severe the sin is. You can assess how bad a sin is by viewing its punishment.
Oh great. Lets promote it then!!! Let everyone do it in a way that they don’t get caught and everyone lives ‘scotfree’ Awesome accomplishment to have uncovered a workaround. 
Next step is to ‘repent’ and lie about your sin to everyone and Voila on our way to heaven!!
Just because you don’t get caught makes the sin any lesser??. NO it does not!!
Let me give u another analogy. May be simple concepts of sin and crime get through to you.
Murder - is a sin AND a crime. Now are you going to quote the ‘scot free’ line in case of that crime? If i murder someone and don’t get caught - I have committed a great sin and a crime. My crime might remain unpunished due to lack of evidence - but the sin remains; and remains as horrible as it is.
**Lack of criminal punishment for a sin =/= exemption/dilution in its severity.
**I never see anyone discouraging people from these sins around here. Although people go to great lengths to provide excuses(if not justification) for these sort of acts
