Can they sin intentionally or only "accidentally"? By this, I mean, at the time they're doing it, they weren't thinking about it consciously as a sin. Picture the difference between a person taking God's name in vain when they hit their thumb with a hammer as opposed to them saying it intentionally as part of a conversation.

Kind of serious question. Once you do that, the game is up and you might as well all-you-can-sin?
First, the specifics of what blaspheming the Holy Spirit entails is debated among theologians. That being said I will never advise a person he/she is beyond salvation no matter what he/she has done.
Secondly, if in fact you are in a position unable to be forgiven, then multiplying your sins will multiply your punishment. While hell is the final destination of all unbelievers, the degree of suffering is related to the life of the unbeliever. The greater the crimes the greater the punishment.
If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
