Who cares if you blasphemy the Holy Spirit? Screw the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit doesn't exist. God doesn't exist either, and Jesus, if he existed is dead.
Sin is an outdated concept that has no place in this day and age.

Of course not. The recognition that you've sinned and the desire to repent and ask forgiveness, is evidence of the Holy Spirit working within your heart. How can that be blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?
This issue came about when the Pharisees refused to acknowledge that by Jesus healing a blind man, he was either God or had the power of God. Instead they attributed the miracle to satan.
Blasphemy, even against Jesus may be a temporary sin, for the one who commits it may be subsequently convinced of his error by the testimony of the Holy Spirit and become a believer.
But blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is by its nature an eternal sin, for if you reject the evidence given by the Holy Spirit and ascribe it to satan, you reject the only evidence upon which faith can be based; and without faith there is no forgiveness.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to say that the Holy Spirit is not from God, but from the Devil (or, in the context of the passage, "Beelzebub") Since Christians, by virtue of their Baptism, are indwelt with the Holy Spirit, I would think that it would be impossible for a Christian to commit this unpardonable sin.

This person is trying to ask if you aren't committing the Unpardonable Sin as long as you feel the need to repent. And I say yes. As long as you can still hear the Holy Spirit talking to you, you haven't sinned against it. The Pharisees committed the Sin against the Holy Spirit because after they said that to Jesus, they didn't repent it.

I have always been taught that Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is when you sin, believing that God will grant you forgiveness for your sin. For example, if you murder someone, knowing it is wrong and believing that if you repent, God will forgive you, that is the unpardonable sin. And Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. And you will not be forgiven.

Basphemy is the one sin that God will not forgive.
Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
Blaspheme-naw-kab' A primitive root; to puncture, literally (to perforate, with more or less violence) or figuratively (to specify, designate, libel): - appoint, blaspheme, bore, curse, express, with holes, name, pierce, strike through.
So your statement is incorrect. We are to repent of our sins daily, and work at changing the parts of ourselves that are weak and commit sins. They are countless, and all God expects from us is obedienct to His word, and an honest effort as well as us working on a relationship with Him every day.
And it is through taht relationship that we grow stronger and are able to resist the temptations of our past and move forward towards being the person God intended us to be in Him.

....every day we are to take up our cross and follow Him.
In the days when Christ walked this Earth, the people knew what the cross meant. To be hung on a cross meant YOU AREN'T COMING BACK. Think of it in today's terms- You go into the room to get the lethal injection.YOU AREN"T COMING BACK.
When we crucify our "old man" (sinful nature) we are alive unto Christ, and in Him we have our life. Abide in Him. Set your affections on things which are above, not things on this planet.
Take care.

repenting of your sins is not blasphemy.

Don't understand this question. Jesus died once. This covers all our sins, past, present & future.
