“Curiosity makes semblance of a desire of knowledge; whereas Thou supremely knowest all.”
-Saint Augustine
Augustine actually listed curiosity among various sins, such as envy, pride and so forth. Curiosity is a sin because it draws one towards the things of the earth. As Augustine also writes, “the friendship of this world is fornication against Thee”.
