How do you blaspheme against "God?" Is there a ritual, do you deny its existence or is profanity required?

Only two ways as DEFINED by the scriptures\n\n1. John 10:33 “…but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” – Claim to be God or His representative.\n2. Mark 2:7 “Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?” – Granting absolution (the power to forgive sin)\n\nHope this helps, although i feel that your question hides some other motive......

Good stuff how about\n\nThou shalt forgive all sinners, however only in the most patronising way possible\n\nThou shalt threaten 'burning in hell', 'everlasting torment' and 'demons with pitchforks up your bottom' to all sinners in the name of the God of eternal love.\n\nThou shalt not listen, think or form a logical argument

don't worry. its actually satanist for people to say all these hurtful words.. god (regardless of your religion) don't teach ppl to talk bad about others. whatever you believe.. rest assured this, you don't do bad.. you don't go to hell. guess i won't be seeing you after i die.. tata.

bbb2165,\n\nI have been secretly amused by this for a long time. I think I've only discussed it with my kids, but it's true. Even atheists use God's name or say "Jesus Christ" when they get angry or sometimes during sex.\n\nWhen they are rational, they will say there is no god or that god is represented in some other form, but when they aren't thinking and something just comes out of their mouth, they prove that they know there is a God and that they know His name.\n\nIt's kid of funny, but there is truth to it also. Thanks for the question. It is always refreshing to me to experience a Christian with a brain and a sense of humor.\n\nGod bless.

hmmm. interesting question. \n\nmaybe, i guess i am afraid of the gods that dont exist. i am afraid of his followers stoning me to death for not believing in him. \n\nbut, in the meantime, while i am not being persecuted, but only prejudiced, i am not afraid. i am only angry, and my free voice allows me to fight back.

No. God never said anything. Existence is required for speech to become an option.

GodShew, could you please enlighten me (and hopefully other Christians) as to what Bible you are referring to when you come up with your questions/answers/comments. Sometimes you Bless ppl in the name of God, and sometimes it almost seems as though you are cursing His Word. Although this comment may seem offensive to you, that is not what I want to accomplish. I just truly want to know, where do you stand on the TRUE Word of God?\n\nWhy do you sometimes speak in "code?" If demons are putting this in your head, you are responsible for rebuking them. Since you know SOME truths about God's Word (even though many times you twist it, as is a characteristic of Satan and his demons), you are responsible for your actions, as it is my responsibility as a Christian to tell you that.

VERBAL    DIARHEA!!\n\n\nNothing is sacred,,,,prove it oh GOD  we have waited for two thousand years, enough is enough!\n \nIF THERE WAS A GOD THERE WOULD BE NO HURT\nTHERE WOULD BE NO PAIN\nTHE SUFFERING WE FEEL WHEN WE HAVE BEEN  HURT IS NOT  FAIR.\n\nI had bad news just three hours ago and this confirms the fact that there is no GOD!!!

You can't get God against anyone, simply put, unless it is the Devil or a being from Hell, and this is just my guess, as no one on Earth knows how God thinks.\n\nHowever, why not try reciting the following prayers:\n\n"Hail Mary"\n\nHail Mary, full of grace.\nOur Lord is with thee.\nBlessed art thou among women,\nand blessed is the fruit of thy womb,\nJesus.\nHoly Mary, Mother of God,\npray for us sinners,\nnow and at the hour of our death.\nAmen. \n\nThen try saying:\n\n"Our Father"\n\nOur Father, Who art in heaven\nHallowed be Thy Name;\nThy kingdom come,\nThy will be done,\non earth as it is in heaven.\nGive us this day our daily bread,\nand forgive us our trespasses,\nas we forgive those who trespass against us;\nand lead us not into temptation,\nbut deliver us from evil. Amen. \n\nThen, try saying something down-to-earth like, (or in your own words):\n\n"Dear God, there is this person who always gets me in trouble at my school.  I don't know what to do.  I've tried everything, and I figured that you could help me out.  (he/she) is getting so annoying lately, and I'm just wondering if you can please just do something to make it all stop."\n\nTalk to him.  Don't formally say a prayer after the Hail Mary and Our Father, be casual, as if you're talking to a friend.  He will then fix this in whatever way is the best way that this problem can be fixed.

That is the most blasphemous question you could ask. Regardless of your religious preference I believe you need to respect the choices of others who might take this question to offence. I'll pray for you.....you need prayers....

What do you mean by swearing? Are you talking about bad words like the F-Bomb and S-Bomb? Or are you talking about taken the lords name in vain. \n\nUsing the F-bomb and other word like it, the bible does not say you should not use that word per say but it does say "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." Ephesians 4:29\n\nAs for using the LORD name in vain then Just read the ten commandments. \n\nk1

How dare you say such spiteful things. You my friend have a oneway ticket to hell where you will burn in fire and brimstone. People like you make me wretch at the thought of actually meeting you. I will pray for your forgivness with 1000 hail marys just to clean myself of your presence. ..........\n\nwhats that????\n\n..........The voices in my head just told me that there is no god so I guess I owe you an apology.................\n\nHow dare you say such spiteful things.

Sheesh.\n\nOk, lets remember something.  No matter what you call yourself , you are you.  In other words, you are a human being.\n\nExample, I call myself a fish.   I take no preparations to get a snorkel, scuba gear, Marine Boy's aqua gum, nada.  I just dive in , swim as deep down into the water as I can go and then begin to gasp for air.   \n\nAt that point I may head to the surface and somehow get to the surface and get air into my lungs, survive and maybe just get a really bad case of "the bends" and live, or die from that.\n\nOr I might be so deep down and so believe I'm a fish that I simply die, because I'm actually just a human.\n\nSo, the real question here isn't what you call yourself, it's what you are.  Surprisingly it doesn't even matter if you call yourself a Christian and not go to heaven, not like heaven, or not have faith.\n\nThe Bible has a passage that goes something like :\n\n"Many will cry "Abba" ("Father") and not be heard."  This is because he will not recognize you as his children, because that person simply mouths the words.\n\nBut the difference between claiming to be a Christian and a Satanist is the potential for benefit.  This is because being a Christian answers to the needs and reality of being human, mortal, sentient.  Satanism does not.\n\nEven on a more mercenary plane, no one would bank on Satan over the actual creator.  Disgruntled help have a terrible track record as long term rules, non-creators a poor understanding of the creation in question, and jealous rivals to the humans are not exactly the first choice to salute and follow like blind sheep.\n\nYou have to ask yourself if there is a creator and if so what would a creator be like?  Because otherwise something that claims to be "God" can't promise you eternal life or omniscience, only a creator can do that, only a first cause can.  You then can also ask what is the motivation of a creator to see your chances of getting any "r-e-s-p-e-c-t" or "lovin'" or whatever other cool but foolish lingo you need to phrase it .\n\nFinally, in the end, Satanism or Christianity are a way of life, if you can't be consistent with your own humanity, you'll never make it to either promised land or result.   If you must deny the true self to get there, you'll never achieve what you hope.\n\nUnfortunately, I think many would-be satanists kid themselves into thinking that they are fully self-aware of the human condition and their own particular case.   They do deny their humanity and what is of God they thirst for.  If they do that, they can believe anything.\n\nBut they'll still be gasping for air at the bottom of the dive.

What are you talking about? which god with a little "g" do you serve that would do such a thing? Not the God of all Glory and Creation, Jesus Christ!

You godless heathen!! Repent!!!\n\nHi!!!\n;-)

Love the question.\n\nGot me thinking and this is what I've come up with:\n\nBecause it cannot be proved without a doubt that God actually exists (if it could be, it would probably be illegal to not be a Christian), to say "God speaks to me" is the equivalent of "I saw a real life dragon yesterday! It lives in my cupboard!"\n\nWhile both statements COULD be true, the essential fact of the matter is that if these kind of people are running around town screaming that God is speaking to them, they WILL cause mass panic and hysteria in their community.\n\nIn general, they are locked up in loony bins to be safe.\n\nSecond, Jealousy. "Why would God speak to that nutjob? I'm a better person than him-he MUST be crazy."\n\nThird, punishment for such claims used to be jail for being a heretic. I think a padded room is much better.
