Martin Luther famously called reason the enemy of faith, referring to it as a "whore" that should be destroyed.
Thinking more often than not leads to abandonment of faith (which is after all about accepting without question). Not believing is a sin. Ergo, thinking is a sin, right?

You forgot the other Martin Luther quote.
"Let us sin mightily", he reportedly said, "that grace may abound".
Help me out, just so I'm clear here: was he telling us to reason or not?

Luther was a nutjob.
Thinking is not a sin in Christianity. If anything, NOT thinking is a sin.
Because when people don't think, it's often because we're being lazy -- with is sloth.

I often get the feeling when talking to certain christians that it is quite the sin.
