How can a question be blasphemous?

Question

In a theistic context, shouldn't every question have a correct answer. And if so, how could the correct answer possibly be blasphemous?

Answer 1

It really can't....

Answer 2

haha no idea my friend. I guess someone might say my answer is "blasphemous" because I answered the question. But I do think every question has an answer, though there may be many different correct answers (different religions, slightly different answers, all may be correct in context). I don't think anything's blasphemous actually haha

Answer 3

Blasphemy usually occurs, when a perosn feels that you have deeply insulted his beliefs, and God himself. The reaction of the person is usually rude.
The problem starts, when someone thinks a sentence or quesiton is blapshemic, but forgets to answer the question, or proove the opposite of the sentence..instead they let their insultedness take over them.
I get a lot of blasphemous questions from people, yet I dont tell them they were blapshomous, instead I try to answer them.
And if I dont know the answer, I dont say "Begone you heretic, your blasphomous insults are not welcome" instead I say "Well, I actually don't know the answer to this question yet." It's pretty different isn't it?

Anyway a queston is blasphemous if it is solely created just to anger and critisize others beliefs, and God.

Answer 4

Noun
blasphemy (plural blasphemies)

irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable
the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for any religion's deity or deities
the act of claiming the attributes of a deity

[edit] Synonyms
(irreverent language): cursing, cussing, execration, imprecation, profanity, swearing
(unholy act): profanation, desecration, sacrilege, violation

It sounds like it means not taking God's word seriously. A sort of mocking translation when spoken like when someone mimics what you said to them in a hateful way back to you. There seems to be intent involved in this word, too. You know you are being disrespectful to God when you are in communication with him with a blasphemous attitude or manner.

Answer 5

If it threatens a religious belief. I got sacristy duty every Friday for the year after school in the 7th grade for asking about Evolution in class. I also was beaten. Today they are more subtle but their operation is modeled after the Schutzstaffel. The Mohammedans do the same thing, but the Hebrewites are a bit different.

Answer 6

A correct answer would not be blasphemous. But some questions can be. (Have you read the suggested answers?)

Answer 7

To some people who are religious, the very act of asking a question is blasphemous. I don't agree with that; I think that a religion that can't stand up to questioning isn't worth much.

Answer 8

Honest questions looking for honest answers are not blasphemous.
Neither are honest answers that reflect honest beliefs.

Answer 9

Yes, a question could be blasphemous, slandering or insulting to God. It could also be a blatant blasphemy in disquise of a question. I won't give you an example because I don't want to blasphemy.

Answer 10

Belivers always try to instill fear in the minds of people who really want to find out the reality behind all the happening..miracles..after life and so on.. but if you delve into these questions and try to answer them..then you get that answer.

Answer 11

It has to do with the intent -- is it a sincere question to gain knowledge or is it designed simply to object and walk away. A question set up only to ridicule or undermine others with no underlying wish to learn can create an atmosphere which encourages blasphemy.
