Theologian Cornelius Plantinga said: “All sin is equally wrong, but not all sin is equally bad.” I understand what Plantinga is saying, and it confirms what Jesus made clear when He told Pilate "he who delivered me over to you has the greater sin.” John 19:11. But if Pilate was an unrepentant sinner and rejected the one true God, hadn't Pilate committed the unpardonable sin?
If sin is evil, then sinners are evildoers, and therefore sinners are evil. All sin except blasphemy of the Holy Spirit can be forgiven, and those that are forgiven are born again saints made righteous by the atonement of Jesus Christ. However, what of those that blaspheme the Holy Spirit by outright rejection of God and the Cross, the atheist, and yet live what appears to be by the "golden rule"; are not they equally guilty of the unpardonable sin and therefore evil?
