You won't, I've blasphemed the Holy Spirit for many years now, in the off-chance that there really is a hell. Just like the christians always say, better safe than sorry.

Commentators differ widely in their thoughts about what this sin that leads to death is and whether the death it causes is physical or spiritual. Paul wrote that some Christians had died because they took Communion in an unworthy manner (1 Corinthians 11:27-30), and Ananias and Sapphira were struck dead when they lied to God (Acts 5:1-11). Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit results in spiritual death (Mark 3:29), and the book of Hebrews describes the spiritual death of the person who turns against Christ (Hebrews 6:4-6). John was probably referring to the people who had left the Christian fellowship and joined the antichrists. By rejecting the only way of salvation, these people were putting themselves out of reach of prayer. In most cases, however, even if we knew what the terrible sin is, we would have no sure way of knowing whether a certain person had committed it. Therefore, we should continue praying for our loved ones and for our Christian brothers and sisters, leaving the judgment up to God. Note that John says, “I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it,” rather than, “You cannot pray for them.” He recognized the lack of certainty.
Cross References:
1 John 5:16—Exodus 23:21; Jeremiah 7:16; 14:11; Matthew 12:31; Hebrews 6:4-6; 10:26; James 5:15
1 John 5:17—1 John 2:1; 3:4
Jesus said that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. This has worried many sincere Christians, but it does not need to. The unforgivable sin is attributing to Satan the work that the Holy Spirit accomplishes (see the note on Matthew 12:31, 32 and the note on Mark 3:28, 29). Thus, it is the deliberate and ongoing rejection of the Holy Spirit’s work and even of God himself. A person who has committed this sin is far from God and totally unaware of any sin at all. If you fear you have committed this sin, be assured that your very concern shows that you have not sinned in this way.

The very question alone means that you haven't commit ed the ultimate sin.I think blasphemy means basically to sin and ask for forgiveness, then do the same thing and ask to be forgiven then commit the same sin and eventually stop asking for forgiveness then thinking that the sin is not a sin, then the separation from God begins.Then when you reject God you have committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

+ Sin +
Sin is a deliberate thought, word, deed, or omission contrary to the eternal law of God.
In other words, sin is anything that hurts your relationship with God.
One cannot sin by mistake.
+ Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit +
Blasphemy against the Spirit
- Therefore, I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven (Matthew 12:31)
Is the sin of attributing to Satan
- But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man drives out demons only by the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons." (Matthew 12:24)
What is the work of the Spirit of God
- But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. (Matthew 12:28)
We really do not know why Jesus said this sin is unforgivable.

If you care enough to ask this question, chances are you haven't. Once God leaves you ALONE you WON'T CARE AT ALL!!!!!!
That's a terrifying place to be in; not for the person themselves, (they could care less), but for those who know Christ and see the evidence of a "seared conscience" in the life of someone they know and love, and realize that the scripture that says "My Spirit shall not always strive with man" has been fulfilled, strikes terror in your heart for that person!
