Yes there's an unforgivable sin, and it's not something so grotesquely heinous that the only rational response would be to vaporize the individual and try to forget they ever existed. It's just saying you don't believe Yahweh exists, or that he's good if he did, or basically to say anything negative about him. I think it really says something about a belief that the worst possible thing it believes you can do is question it.
Of course people who are not in a vulnerable position, like childhood, depression, or near death, are the hardest to convert. The only options are to let them keep talking, or to shut them up by force. That's why it's considered the worst of the worst. This is also why pride is the worst deadly sin. Feeling good about yourself and your accomplishments makes it hard to convince you that you have a void in your life that can only be filled by letting someone else tell you how to live your life.
