Then don't worry about anybody changing anybody.
If any product which is advertised of its good use and you are not liking that product and just not used it, can you prevent others from buying it unless you used that and found it was not good.

he Pharisees had blasphemed against the Spirit by attributing the power by which Christ did miracles to Satan (12:24) instead of the Holy Spirit. The unpardonable sin is the deliberate refusal to acknowledge God’s power in Christ. It indicates a deliberate and irreversible hardness of heart. Sometimes believers worry that they have accidentally committed this unforgivable sin. But only those who have turned their backs on God and rejected all faith have any need to worry. Jesus said they can’t be forgiven—not because their sin is worse than any other but because they will never ask for forgiveness. Whoever rejects the prompting of the Holy Spirit removes himself or herself from the only force that can lead him or her to repentance and restoration to God.

It is not the 'ignorance' that is unforgivable, it is by the turning of one's back on what one 'knows' of God that establishes judgement upon their soul. I find it sadly interesting that so many 'non-believers' only look through the sometimes 'smudged windows' of the confused souls of others, concluding that to be the only 'true view'.of God. I wish everyone would take a really deep look within and good look around, beyond the hatred and bitterness, they too would discover the Goodness of God's amazing & forgiving love toward them. His Word says, that He would choose that none should parish. Yet, there were those who did just that in Noah's time. They were 'All' invited to repent and 'get in the boat'. Instead they mocked him and his pleading & repetitive message of impending destruction..They did not want to stop their 'activities' long enough to 'ponder' the potential truth of Noah's words. There is a similar message being spoken today. Only it isn't by water....one can only hope that many will reconsider their 'point of view' before it is too late.

To blaspheme against the Holy Spirit means to reject His testimony about Christ as the Messiah. By doing so you automatically disqualify yourself from benefiting Christ's atonement for your sins. In other words, a person who rejects Christ would not seek His forgiveness. This situation would be similar to a person dying of thirst but refusing to drink.

As an objective viewer of the religious phenomena you should realize there is not always a real sense of rhyme nor reason to the arbitrary nature of the formal religious memetic.

BE CAREFUL!
Mat 12:31 ¶ 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.
Mat 12:32 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.
