Disbelief a sin; different perspective

[Erebus]

So, your going to enlighten everyone with this knowledge of ''why'' disbelief is considered a sin, etc? Or just talk around the subject, vaguely. Do you know the reasons why it might be a sin? From your description here, it looks pretty biased..

I thought I'd made it pretty obvious that I don't consider disbelief a sin?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking me here.

What makes it a sin according to your sacred text and why objectvely not according to your personal experience?

Luke 12:46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

Implies the wicked and unbelievers, are in the same sinners category.

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Again unbelievers are being classed as darkness, thus being sinners.

Could post loads from the Quran as well, which does the same, even has a negative word to describe them.

Interestingly no verses show up for 'unbeliever' in the Tanakh.

That's just so messed up. (No pun intended)

I've seen plenty of people equate disbelief in God with a rejecting of God, although I don't think I quite see it that way.

Obviously, it is absurd to reject something I do not believe in.

What we reject is the idea of God, not God.

I understand and agree.
