Is blasphemy humorous?

It is hilarious if Monty Python is making fun of it!



Interestingly, Jesus speaks of blasphemy in terms of being used against Himself and the Holy Spirit. He says in Matthew 12:30-32:

"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."

To paraphrase, the definition of "blasphemy" given in The Complete Word Study New Testament book I own calls it, "defamation, reviling, evil speaking, railing and impiousness."

For comfort, it is impossible for one who is a child of God to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. A house divided against itself cannot stand and the Spirit has made our bodies its dwelling place (or house). The proof is given in 1 Corinthians 12:3 where it is written:

"Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit."
