You've got definitions but what it "means" is that you have no "fear" of God. In other words you do not respect His postion, influence or work with your attitude or language.
Essentially you dishonor Him with this act sometimes even attributing the work of God to someone or something else.

Blasphemy is the use of strong language against nonexistent entities such as "god".
Blasphemy is a victimless crime.

If you are blasphemous you are using God's name in vain or are directly going against what the bible says.

Any argument that tries to extinguish faith in Jesus Christ the Lord would be there.
