It is hard to find the right balance between emphasizing the seriousness of a sin and emphasizing the infinite nature of the Atonement and it’s cleansing power. We want people to feel that they can access the Atonement no matter their sin but at the same time we don’t want them to rationalize abusing the availability of the Atonement (because that is disrespectful of the gift and its Giver).
