Because—comma

Hello,

"I think you shouldn't do that because it's dangerous."

"I don't think you should do that, because it's dangerous."

In the first sentence, should there be a comma? I know that when the first sentence is negative, you must put a comma before "because". The problem in that example is that you are basically saying "I think this because that," as opposed to the second one.

Thanks for any possible help!
