'Of all the strange crimes that humanity has legislated out of nothing, "blasphemy" is the most amazing - with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for second and third place.' - Robert Heinlein

Strictly from a logic standpoint, as far as claiming your god is "all powerful", it makes no fucking sense to claim that then step in between, that god and me if he can kick my ass without your help.
When anyone of any god claim says "Don't pick on my god" I get the image of a midget standing spread eagle in front of the Terminator shouting "DON'T HIT MY GOD YOU MIGHT HURT HIM".
The psychological reality of the believer does not want to face is that they are not protecting anything but their own ego and afraid that they might be wrong.

I though blasphemy was a victimless crime.

Not at all - it's devastatingly painful to whiners.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
