    Technically that doesn’t even work with christianity. You have to very specifically blaspheme against the holy spirit, who is most definitely a child rapist on the Epstein list. You can call their god whatever name you want, deny Jesus, worship any form of metallic idol you want - you still can get through the door to heaven. It takes a special kind of statement - like saying the holy spirit isn’t even real and only exists because whatever man made it all up was accused of copying off of some other religion and just made up even more bullshit so their “nuh uh” had more weight.

      That’s not what the blaspheming of the Holy Spirit is at all.

        Oh, it isn’t? What’s your definition if not Merriam-Webster’s? Or do we look to the holy spirit for the definition? Because in my understanding that thing can’t even spell much less string together a coherent definition of what it means to blaspheme.

          Traditionally, blaspheming the holy spirit is taken as denying the existence thereof. As soon as you believe in it and convert to christianity, the sin no longer exists and is ‘forgiven.’ The reason it is “unforgiveable” is because you literally cannot ask for forgiveness and to “receive christ in your heart” without believing in it.
