You can't blaspheme against a god you don't believe in. Do you agree? Elaborate.?

by its very definition blaspheming is the defamation of the name of gods or a god, the doubting of the existance of a god or gods, or the use of a gods name or things related to and connected the god in a profanity. it is something which is of course directly linked to religion and the belief in it. for example, if you believed in a god, but felt the need to speak ill of him/her/it for one reason or another, then of course this would be blasphemy in its purest and most basic form, but if you do not believe in a god, but yet you use their name, or names associated with them in swear words and profanities, then in my view this is not blasphemy on the part of the person speaking. as i believe that you must first believe in the god or the faith in order to blaspheme.... but turning this around, if these words were said to a person who DID believe in the god etc, then it would of course be interpreted as blasphemy, as they would have no idea about the other persons beliefs, and it would also be insulting to their own beliefs.\n\ni dont believe that you can blaspheme against a god you dont believe in, by definition, and by obeying the situations under which you can blaspheme.... its impossible. \n\ni do believe however that you can criticise and 'make fun of' the god, which is simply expressing your views, and is NOT blasphemy in the views of the person in question.\n\nin conclusion, you must first believe in a god in order to blaspheme against them, if not, then its not technically blasphemy.... eg someone may believe that micky mouse is a god, but if i say that i think micky mouse is an idiot, that doesnt mean that i am blaspheming.... you may believe that a god exists or not in your own view... thats why we all have minds of our own, but if you did not believe that a god existed then you couldnt be blaspheming, as there is no 'one god' so, blasphemy is a matter of personal opinion, and can only really happen when 2 ppl of the same religion are quarelling and a profanity including their god is mentioned..... it is something that follows a strict rule, you must believe to blaspheme....

If there is anything in the universe that your god is not responsible for then he can't be god.  End of story.

wont argue... I am with you to an extent... I am Wiccan and it is a very open religion that doesn't judge others or say my way or the high way. And the "gods" and such are guides and things like that not devine intervention crap...

I don't believe in God, and I feel absolutely OK. I don't buy the blackmail that if I don't believe, I'll be damned. Live a life of freedom and don't believe in anything they cannot prove you.

You can't say God doesn't exist. If you are saying his name, he is there.

Yes - God cannot sin.

This is why I am agnostic.  There were just too many unanswered questions for me.  And there was a lot of hypocracy, especially in my congregation.  What's the point of *saying* you believe something when you actually don't?

I know there is a God. I didn't arrive at this conclusion by my intellect, for human intelligence is limited. Give up on trying to figure everything out, for common sense itself should tell you that you can't know or understand everything. This is not a matter of the head, but of the heart. Ask yourself this: "If God is the truth, do I really want to know the truth?" Our sinfulness makes us afraid of a holy and righteous God who we feel must demand an accounting of us His creatures. Atheists say they don't believe in God, but I don't believe in atheists. If they don't believe in God, then who are they so mad at? They claim wisdom and knowledge and call believers simple, but I see atheists as being extremely smallminded and limited. Did atoms and microbes not exist until some human came along who was smart enough to detect them? How small these people's reality must be! How futile and pointless their existence! I commend you for at least being openminded enough to ask? How foolish it is to think that one's ignorance is evidence! Thanks for not being that way, wisdom is not beyond the grasp of one such as yourself. There is a God; He is beyond human comprehension; He is absolutely holy, righteous, and frightfuly just. His awesome majesty and power is terrifying and he is completely unapproachable by vile, prideful humans. Remember I said that it is our innate sense of this reality that drives some to deny His existense out of fear of the truth. They can't face themselves and their guilt, and they can't face a righteously angry, holy, and just God whom they rightly think will demand retribution of them. What they don't understand is that this same God is also infinitely loving, kind, gracious and merciful, and that He paid the penalty for their sins and removed their guilt which was keeping them from Him. How? He gave us His only begotten Son Jesus Christ who took our sins and guilt upon his holy and innocent self and was put to death so that we may go free. Believe this, make claim to it as a FREE GIFT from God, confess it to Him and to others, then walk in peace from now on with Him, always trusting Jesus' sacrifice as your justification in God's eyes, not your own merit. Then keep on learning more of Him and growing spiritually.><>Sir Brian

To each follower, his God is always better. It is better to imbibe Godly qualities to the extent possible, than disputing about the better one.. One may spend / waste a lifetime trying to choose a better God !

Actually, this question is easily answered by bible doctrine. NO, God cannot. There are many things God can't do. Who ever said God can do anything? God can't hate, at least not literally. God can only "hate" in the sense of an anthropopathic analogy, such as when He was said to "hate" Esau. God can't lie, break a promise, die, hurt, be sad, allow a saved person to enter Hell, allow an unsaved person to enter heaven, or fail to provide logistical grace support to a believer. God can't be unjust, wrong, weak,  stupid, not present, and He cannot change. He cannot fall in love( because He is love 24/7). \n\nBasically God cannot do anything that would violate His essence. His essence is Sovereignty, Righteousness, Justice, Eternal Life, Love, Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, And Truth. These 10 characteristics describe perfectly the 3 members of the Trinity, and no one else. I'm glad God is bound by who He is.\n\nYou don't need to defend yourself against Christian bashers. God is not worried about them or threatened by them, why should you be? Keep the Faith, Bro!

It's blasphemy. It's disrespectful. People should honor God, not curse him. He created us all, and we at least owe him our respect and our love. Don't you agree? Actually, when it comes to all other foul words, I can tolerate them...but I can't tolerate blasphemers. To tell you the brutal truth- and I am more honest than most people- I do curse sometimes, myself, when I get very very angry. But then, I apologize and repent to God after the fact. I know that no one is perfect. I just believe that cursing should be avoided as best as humanly possible.

When you are able to think, you do not need faith. I do not follow blindly. I don't need any other person to explain things to me. Mainly ones that claim we all are inbred, coming from two original people, or somebody claiming that I must do as they say and give money or burn forever. There is no proof of god, only inconsistent explanations that contradict themselves.

Facts ... I believe in "God". I am not able to accept the Christian version of monotheism. I consider it illogical and it makes no sense to me. I do not lie awake at night not believing. The Bible is not perfect. It has been mistranslated by numerous translators in various translations. Christianity is not the worlds longest running religion. There was Judaism and Hinduism and several others prior to 2000 years ago that are still alive and well. You asked for facts. Those are facts. I'm not Christian. That doesn't bother me. You are Christian. That doesn't bother me either. Instead of worrying about others and their relationship with "God" or their lack of same maybe there's something else you need to be looking at? Just a thought. And that's a fact. :-)

No, it is not OK with God. God shares His Glory with no one.
