Any sin that is committed with three necessary things:
1. the thought, desire, word, action or omission must be seriously wrong or considered seriously wrong
2. the sinner must be mindful of the serious wrong
3. the sinner must fully consent to it

Pope Gregory the Great (d. 604) described Seven Deadly Sins in his Moralia in Job.
1. Superbia Pride
2. Invidia Envy
3. Ira Anger
4. Avaritia Avarice
5. Tristia Sadness
6. Gula Gluttony
7. Luxuria Lust
(Moralia in Job, XXXI cap. xlv).
The sin ‘Tristia’ was later replaced by ‘Accidia’, or Sloth (Wenzel (1967), 38). This sin was taken from earlier catalogues of vice, in particular, the eight evil thoughts listed by Evaagrius (346-99), and the eight principal vices proposed by the mid fourth-century writer Cassian (Wenzel (1967), 14-21). Some of the iconography of the Sins was derived from the descriptions of the Battles between the Virtues and Vices in the Psychomachia by the fourth-century poet Prudentius.

The absolute most serious serious(in a bad bad way) sin i can think of is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit.
I think thats a sin that will never be forgiven.
The seven deadly sins on the other hand arent sins at all,they are just doorways to sin.

All sins are equal in God's eyes, other than the sin of not believing, of course.
