You just took a picture. No harm to the Nativity scene. And you have a reminder of how the scene looks with a historical picture reference of you at the same time. Don't worry about it.

I don't know if Blasphemous is the right word. But what i do know is that you should not worship idols. By you praying to a statue or a nativity scene you are disobeying the lord. Do you agree that the bible is the book of God and that you should follow what it says?? then read Deuteronomy
"Do not make idols that look like anything in the sky or on earth or in the ocean under the earth. Don’t bow down and worship idols. I am the LORD your God, and I demand all your love. If you reject me and worship idols, I will punish your families for three or four generations. But if you love me and obey my laws, I will be kind to your families for thousands of generations. "

I think that would depend on how heavily you are influenced by your faith. If you were just posing with it and not making any crude gestures or obscenities, then no, I'd say that it's not so much wrong, but that would also depend on the individual you are asking and their personal values. But as long as it's not offensive or morally corrupt to you, think nothing more of this than just a little fun.

I don't see any harm in it , as long as you took the pictures for your own personal album and do not intend to lead some one into believing you were actually there at the time. I wouldn't worry about it. AS long as you weren't posing in any obscence way with any of the icons.

Not at all, as long as you weren't dancing with the wise men...I'm sure the persons that set up the display would only have a problem if you were in and amongst the scene.

Sounds like they're being intolerant of your right to pose in front of nativity scenes... it's in the Bill of Rights. Look it up. ;-)

no, Its not blasphemous, you are just taking a picture of you with a beautiful nativity scene.Tell those people they need to give their lifes to Jesus and stop worring about man made idols.

it would be the same if you were posing in front of a church so it really doesnt mean anything
