My most blasphemous action was probably when I was teaching and I subtly made the case for non-religious folk being smarter than those who "literally" believe. Something along the lines of better educated people being less likely to be religious.
Sounds fairly unimpressive, but I said it to a total of 120 twelve-year-olds throughout the course of the day.
Oh, then I showed them Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and three girls puked.
I was an awesome teacher.

I guess it would be this forum and the dallas meetup group. I try to be respectful of others, even if they have crazy beliefs, so my blasphemy isn't that interesting as far as humor goes.

This is kinda lame, but the Gideons were at my college today handing out their little pocket New Testaments. I went up to one of the tables and put an FSM brochure next to one of the piles.

I've got a Gideon bible that I plan to make an altered book from... actually, I have 3. And when we go on the cruise ship, I put them in the safe and lock it. It's a dangerous book as far as I can tell.

The only thing that I think of is that I threw my copy of the bible in the garbage bin.

I've defended Satan (well his reputation at any rate) ... that's gotta be fairly blasphemous I suppose.
According to Wikipedia blasphemy is the disrespectful use of one or more god's names so given that my standard answer to the question, "What are god and Jesus to you?" is, "Convenient swear words" I guess I my be a blasphemer
Kyu

I once bought a little plastic cross from a vending machine (the ones at grocery stores where everything comes out in a little plastic bubble) and spent the afternoon lighting it on fire and burning

Ahhh...Blasphemy. The greatest gift the evangelicals have bequeathed on modern society. I mean without religion there could be no blasphemy, right? So, in a way I must give thanks to all those believers for this great and joy giving gift I have received.
I suppose most of my blasphemous statements are located here in my happy atheist posts, but I can guarantee that blasphemy is in my thoughts on a regular basis. Sometimes when my politeness fails, it pops out, like the time I told a Catholic friend that my favorite prank would be to tie blow-up dolls on some of the large local crosses. He actually got offended. Can you imagine? My other somewhat blasphemous action was placing a small brass flea market Buddha next to a local Ten Commandments monument. Not really high on the offense category I suppose, but hopefully to the point. Maybe when the Church of the FSM gets small marketable statuettes I'll put one of them there, too. Those FSM tracts sound really enticing, too.
I suppose I would be much, much worse in this category if it weren't for the fact I have a small but loving nuclear family I don't want to humiliate too much.

There is some good news for the blasphemers in the Netherlands. Blasphemy is no longer punishable by Dutch law. The anti-blasphemy law was introduced in 1932 but was barely applied. In 1968 it was used for the last time in the famous case against the author Gerard Reve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_Reve (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_Reve)). Reve described in one of his books his love making with God, incarnated in a donkey. In April 1968 he was acquitted by the High Council. The is law now abolished, so I feel free to insult or offend any Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or Hindu and their believes. BTW if you'd like to see a real good movie that was based on a book of Gerard Reve then checkout http://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Man-Jeroen ... 43&sr=8-16 (http://www.amazon.com/Fourth-Man-Jeroen-Krabb%C3%A9/dp/6305972915/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1225484243&sr=8-16)

I used to work in a shop that sold cake toppers. I hung some of the plastic crosses upside down in their little baggies.

Hmm.
I used to volunteer for a church doing data entry and filing and... watering pianos... in exchange for free piano lessons. I don't really know if it's blasphemous, but it sounds kind of hypocritical. The lessons were mostly playing classical music, no religious songs required. 8D
I've even checked out the church's services and youth groups a few times (though got dragged along to the Billy Graham thing here once >_<).
Besides putting the Bible in the Fiction section of bookstores, I've been a pretty passive Atheist.
