betrayal is an essentailly positive action. it is an act, an unexpected act, reviled by the others because it is detrimental to them. for the doer, though, the betraying act is reaching out for something (s)he is deprived of, in hope of expansion. therefore it has an ethical defendability.
denial on the other hand, is the greater sin. denial erases an experience already savored from all time, all history, collective and individual.
it is an attempt to drill an infinite black hole in life, to make it unlived...
alas then... who is the bigger sinner? the one who betrayeth with a kiss; or the one who denieth thrice ere the cock croweth thrice?
faith is a thorny and thistly business, is it not?

If you need to betray, that means that something serios is missing/wrong and you are in a relationship that you should no longer continue. But you do. Then one day if the other person realizes your betrayals and lies, s/he can easiy denies you. Because before her/him, you have already denied her/him by continuing your relationship with her/him even though you dont want to. So why this is bad to hear that s/he denies the time you spent together because s/he realized that it was full of lies?
betrayal is also another form of denial, denying the others who trusted you for the sake of selfish benefit, dont you think?
there is no justice in forgiving and forgeting the first one, and punishing the latter. they are all equally sin.
