We look to the final lasting legacy of the Holy Spirit still active today. In that the Holy Spirit calls us to salvation, the Holy Spirit calls us to repentance. And, since we have been offered this oppertunity to repent as long as we live, to blaspheme the Spirit is to live a life that defies this call to repentance, this call to God. Because ultimatly the Spirit is the intercessor/ambassador of the Father. The Spirit's words are the words of the Father, to defame the Spirit is to defame the personal words the Father uses to reach out to you.

So, it would seem that belief is a prerequisite for this blasphemy, by virtue of one acknowledging that it IS the Holy Spirit 'calling', correct? Possibly something along the lines of: 



It doesn't seem as though an atheist (by definition, at least) would be capable of committing this offense. A God-denier, certainly, but not a non-believer. I asked, because I happened to be wondering about atheists who participate in so-called blasphemy challenges. I'm not sure what would compel an atheist to blaspheme a God he/she doesn't believe in, other than a misunderstanding/misinterpretation of what the word means (in the Biblical context).

And/or a general penchant for cage-rattling, perhaps. 

'Cause let's face it; That's always a blast. 
Am I right? Wink
