I apologize. You are right, I should not have spelled out that I think you don't want to understand. It is just that I know from experience that questions like yours are usually asked from a point of assuming that unbelievers always have the most base and selfish motives.You agree that people should respect each other here but you disrespect me by claiming I am nitpicking and don't even want to understand what you are saying.
I gathered that you likened yourself to Jesus who was silenced for blasphemy after reading your post and in order not to be presumptuous I asked you if this was indeed the case only to have you respond to me the way you did. And yet it is you who complain about how you are being treated.
Why do you do that?
But you got your answer: no, that is not what it is about. It is not about me and about me being mistreated. It is also not about Jesus. It is about the very concept of blasphemy, and they ways it is and can be used and abused.
I think Jesus is a good example, because it shows Christians what can happen. The problem I found (again, I am assuming, but based on prior experiences) is that Christians cannot see the problematic because they have to adhere to the a priori position that Jesus didn't deserve it, while other victims of blasphemy accusations did.
And that is why I said you were nitpicking... and I stand to that assertion. You were asking for specific examples. But it isn't about examples. This isn't about a list of phrases that should be allowed, or a list of phrases that should be forbidden.
Any example is just that: an example that shows that everything can be seen as blasphemous. It just depends on the one who feels insulted... or wants to feel insulted.
