People have so many different opinions about so many things. And as a consequence people are OFFENSIVE about so many things.
Why should insulting religion or God be singled out for special treatment as blasphemy?
And please don't answer with "People shouldn't be offensive about anything". This is the real world, and people WILL be offensive, and you cannot always predict what some people will FIND offensive. I want to know why blasphemy should receive special treatment in the annals of potentially obnoxious behaviour.

I think it's just to classify it.

For one thing (of many I could name) God keeps a record/book of
everything ever said or done!
Question for [the last ninja]-would you 'blaspheme' a policeman or other authority figure, who has power to write you a ticket or (possibly) throw you in jail?
I think not, unless you're a WAY bigger fool than you seem.
Well, multiply that authority about a trillion or more times, and you
see what the real problem is, for you (and all other blasphemers)!

Matthew 12:31-32 "Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men; but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men
And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him, but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Blasphemy is putting yourself up as God or above God, claiming the powers that belong only to God. SAtan wanted to be above God and look where it got him. Why should any created being want to be better than their creator?

my understanding of christian religion is that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the only sin that will not be forgiven...all other blasphemy in this respect seems pointless to me since you can't add or take away from God...

Leave all those angry people alone. They are good for nothing. At least we are good for something and we have everything to live for.
