What has been said on here is you have to believe in God in order to commit blaspheme.

By a lot of theists here? I'm honestly curious. That doesn't fit the dictionary definition. And in some countries with a state religion you can be charged with blasphemy (with legal punishments up to and including execution). Saying "Well, I don't believe in a god," wouldn't get you out of it, you would just be confirming your "blasphemy."

Damn that is a weird-looking word. BLASPHEMY.

To OP, if you're looking for most blasphemous, it would depend on which god you were trying to blaspheme. If you're not a vegetarian, you've probably already done at least one.

Go to Catholic mass and take, but do not eat, the consecrated communion wafer. Try not to get caught as most Catholics will not take this lightly.

Commit suicide is probably the most blasphemous thing you can do.
Idk about the legal standpoint of it, since you would be gone...

Now in all seriousness, this is a stupid thread...

Aghori, a hindu sect.

wiki:

Quote:

They are, for instance, known to engage in post-mortem ritual cannibalism (necrophagy), urophagia and corprophagy; they also often dwell in charnel grounds, have been witnessed smearing cremation ashes on their bodies, and have been known to use bones from human corpses for crafting skull bowls (which Shiva and other Hindu deities are often iconically depicted holding or using) and jewellery.

I saw a documentary on the Aghori. One guy was being initiated. What's interesting is that apart from the freaky stuff he did (all the things mentioned above), this guy seemed like a very normal, very human, calm individual. Sick stuff.

Well, remember, the cracker becomes the body of Christ, so Catholics want to make sure you're not doing anything sanctimonious with it.

Why is his impression inaccurate? Do you have any legal precedent to support what you're saying?

Pure BS. I have been to many catholic weddings were they perform holy communion/mass first time I went I took and it eat it, and it got stuck to the top of my month.

Next time I went up but did not eat it and put it in my pocket, nothing was said.

Now I just dont go up.

I saw many old women carry it to their seats or eating it on the way to the seat. Didn't know it was a big deal.

WRT the Eucharist, doesn't it seem like eating the communion wafer/ wine is the blasphemous thing to do? I mean, if you honestly believe that they're turning into your god, isn't it kinda messed up to eat them?
