The truth is...blasphemy is victimless crime.
God probably doesnt exist, and the religious conception of a "personal God" definetly doesnt exist. However, lets suppose some form of "God" does exist. How can this entity ever be offended or hurt with the words of his creation? Its absurd when you really think about it, yet Muslims have murdered millions based on this premise alone, and the other religions dont have clean hands either.
Since the idea that an omnipotent creator could haveth his feelings hurt, as if he had a human ego, is beyond absurdity, it must be the case that the concept of "blasphemy", it must be that the concept was invented by religuous clergy seeking to retain their powers.
Isnt that human nature? Power corrupts and those in power are often inclined to do whatever is necessary to retain their powers. Obviously, those who question the source of their (the clergy, mullahs, etc) power are the biggest threat and should get the biggest punishment.
