Christians can't blaspheme the Holy Spirit, it is impossible. The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the rejection of Jesus Christ to your dying breath, because the message of the Holy Spirit is that Jesus is the only way to be saved.
So your premise is false and pointless.

First of all, if I HAD committed the unforgivable sin, I wouldn't care, because my conscience would be "seared with a hot iron"...that is, there would be a calloused scar where it used to be.
Secondly, someone really ought to tell these folks that hell is a fallacy. The word translated "hell" in the Bible is really closer to our definition of the grave...and that is true in both the OT and the NT. Gehenna is actually a valley outside of Jerusalem that does not have a pretty history at all. In Jesus' day, the city burned it's trash...including the carcases of dead animals...and sometimes people, such as criminals, or beggars... The fires were kept burning night and day, and there was always a good meal for a hungry worm...
Jesus used this as an example of the shame a person incurs when they sin. The devil does not rule hell, but he does enjoy knowing that we gave up our immortality for the knowledge he brought...one needs only to look around to see just how we have used "the knowledge of good and evil"...let's face it, we cause our own problems with our sick greed, don't we?
When you think about it, death is actually a mercy. Who would want to live forever in the world man has created? But God is creating all thing new!! Iow, He is cleaning up our mess...
To "blaspheme the Holy Spirit" woud be, for instance, to allow myself to be convinced in my heart that there is no God, or that Jesus is a fake and a fraud. How can I be forgiven, when I reject the whole idea of a Redeemer??

I have a different interpretation about blaspheming the holy spirit but let's say for the sake of the argument I'm going to hell no matter what I do.
I would probably do b)... d) seems interesting because the devil could give me some power but I know he would trick so no. And I know the devil is in hell as a punishment for him not as a ruler.

It's impossible to do that today. notice that in Mark 3:30 Jesus is very specific about what exactly they did to commit "the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit." This blasphemy has to do with someone accusing Jesus Christ of being demon-possessed instead of Spirit-filled. There are other ways to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, but this was "THE" unpardonable blasphemy. As a result, the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit cannot be duplicated today. Jesus Christ is not on earth. but seated at the right Hand of God. No one can witness Jesus Christ performing a miracle and then attribute that power to Satan instead of the Spirit. Although there is no blasphemy of the Spirit today, we should always keep in mind there is an unpardonable state of existence--the state of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in unbelief.

I accept as true with Vox Populi and Daydream. i actually am a Christian and generally situations (at paintings or in college) get asked a collection of questions by utilising agnostics and atheists. however the questions are actually not usually to get me to 'think of deeply' as much as they're tries to trip me up or in a roundabout way disprove my ideals. i visit assert, although, i understand some Christians who won't, even for a 2nd, handle a question/theory that is going against what they have self belief. yet I additionally understand human beings of alternative religions, and a few who are not religious in any respect, who're additionally like that. i think of that's what's observed as being narrow-minded. and you will discover human beings like that everywhere. So definite, on a similar time as i think of there are some Christians who can not manage hypothetical circumstances, please do not choose all Christians in keeping with some. And, because of the fact the suited occasion of a Christian who LIKES hypothetical circumstances, take a seem at Christ himself. fairly. Jesus generally spoke to human beings utilising sarcasm, hyperbole, parables, and hypothetical circumstances. in reality, thats between the justifications the religious rulers of the day have been given so mad at him...

I must say this an interesting situation.
The issue is the original meaning of Blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Taken back to the original language, it means reject the Holy Spirit, to Reject God, to Reject the saving Grace of Jesus.
Working on that truth. It doesn't matter. You are not a Christian.

I'm an atheist but I believe you've misinterpreted the unforgivable sin.

If I'm a Christian I know that if I see the error of my ways, and am truly sorry I can pray for forgiveness, what ever my sin was. I also know that if I can forgive others for hurting me, God can forgive me. It's the whole point of Christianity. So erm... none of them.
