Heresy is a sin.
[/quote]

We've had this discussion before Loki. Heresy isn't a sin. If you read Peter Abelard's [i]Ethics[/i], where the nature of sin is discussed, you'll find therein a very convincing definition of sin, that is: a sin is where one consents to doing something which they know is wrong, or which they know God disapproves of, and in so consenting they are in fact showing contempt to God. It is this consent and contempt which is the true sin, and not the action itself. Thus, where one commits adultery, it is not the act of sleeping with another man's wife which is the sin, but the mental consent to doing what God disapproves of, and thus the contempt of God shown by such consent. Where one commits adultery and such consent does not exist, and thus no contempt, one cannot be said to have sinned. 

Likewise with heresy! How can one who believes himself to be worshipping God as God has commanded be consenting to do what God has forbidden, and thus be showing contempt to God?

Edit Edit: Perhaps this was the wrong forum to go off on one about the nature of sin. But I've been dying to go off on one ever since I got close to finishing that damn book >.> was planning to have a Victors post on the nature of sin actually. Might still do it xP

Edit Edit Edit: Also, the argument concerning the nature of sin is deeper than the above, but it's what I could come up with from memory >.> if you are interested, read the next Victors post! Coming soon in a Khovinus post near you.
