[Marvel] What is the the smallest sin a person could get burned by Ghost Rider's Pennance stare?

I know it only burns sinners and the wicked, but exactly how wicked do you have to be to burned? 

It says in the bible that all have sinned before god so shouldn't the stare at least lightly singe everyone?

The penance stare varies between depictions.  In nearly every version it magnifies the pain and sin of the sinner several times over to burn them. Depending on the version depicted every single mortal person is vulnerable to the stares effect but it depends on whether on not the sins committed are in the big category of harming others and malicious in nature.  Stealing a candy bar may get you a bad burn and feeling awful for awhile but cheating on your wife or murdering someone will sear your soul and definitely kill you. Ghost rider is pretty judicious in his use of the stare saving it only for truly wretched people but in some depictions he's used it and conventional methods to kill everyone on earth.
