Somehow I get the feeling that most of the people participating in "Draw Mohammad Day" would be outraged to the point of demanding a boycott or retribution if a hundred thousand Muslims (or people of Muslim cultural heritage) participated in a "Blaspheme Against the Holy Spirit Day" or a "Hang a Cross Upside-Down Day" or the like.

There was a a blaspheme against the holy spirit day.

[sophiaserpentia.livejournal.com]

Was there? I missed it. *runs to Google*

[sophiaserpentia.livejournal.com]

Was this a large online event organized by Muslims?

[sammhain.livejournal.com]

It was organized by atheists.

[sophiaserpentia.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, they block our access to the political process, question our patriotism and want to take our citizenship for being atheist already, so I suppose openly blaspheming the Holy Spirit en masse could hardly make things worse.

I've been trying to figure out how one blasphemes against the Holy Spirit as opposed to blaspheming in general, and I cannot figure it out. Is there a special form to use?

[sophiaserpentia.livejournal.com]

I think you can accomplish this by defiling the communion host, although I can't confirm this.

[akaiyume.livejournal.com]

Naw, the communion host is the body and blood of Jesus.

The holy spirit is sorta like the immanence of the godhead.

‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ is pretty much the only thing said that is on par with the badness of blaspheming against the holy spirit.

A blaspheme against the holy spirit day would be all too redundant.

I wasn't aware draw mohamed day was organized by christians...source?

[sophiaserpentia.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell it is not an event sponsored by a particular organization -- but I think it's fairly safe to assume that most of the people participating are either Christian or grew up in a Christian culture.

I will amend my post so that my wording is more precise.

Also as far as I know, no Christian Leader has issued a death threat against anyone making art critical of christianity(unlike say Rushdi or Ali)

[lassiter.livejournal.com]

Not recently, anyway.

No, they save the death threats for the queers and our friends.
