Atheism isnt blasphemous because people are allowed to have their own thoughts. Shaming people for other thoughts is a tribal defense. But Satanism is blasphemous because its done ONLY for the sake of making other people not have fun. I think god is strong enough to let people be comfy on their own terms and if they want to ignore him with atheism then I feel god would be comfortable allowing them to do that. Actually im not even sure god punishes Satanists (doesnt Satan do that?).
Everyone is allowed to have their own thoughts; therefore, anyone can be blasphemous. Outspoken critics of Christianity are most certainly being blasphemous. They denigrate God by denigrating God directly, as in God doesn't exist or indirectly by denigrating God's creations.
If someone on the street who didnt know you didnt trust you, you think they are being blasphemous? If you dont think its blasphemous for a stranger not to trust you then why would God? Wouldnt God be 500 times more forgiving than you? So why would you take the time to bother an atheist unless you just wanna rub their face in **** and that is your only real secret motivation.
One always has the ability to know God. If one chooses not to know God and speaks in a denigrating way God, Jesus, the Bible, and about his creations, that person is blasphemous.
Interesting you should bring up forgiving. You may need to go to the Philosophy section of DP as there is a discussion there about forgiving and that forgiving is garbage. Maybe you could straighten them out.
As for my motivation, it is rather simple. I now understand many Atheists. I have not always been able to make statements like the opening post, but I now recognize it. If Atheists want God to forgive them, they need to seek God's grace. I recommend it.
