Historically, blasphemy has always been identified with criticizing, denigrating, or marginalizing the sacred, and in Jewish and Christian tradition it's connected with profaning the name of God, or persons such as Jesus or the Holy Spirit, or even teaching connected with the God of the Bible. It's the kind of categorical expression for vast disrespect of the most sacred and holy things in our faith.

We stabilized their guards and played maybe our best half of the season.
When they're put back into popular culture and the media in ways that don't seem consistent with their sacredness, their holiness, that's where blasphemy occurs. The test of blasphemy is often not whether we as the consumers feel a T-shirt of an icon or a statue is misplaced or misused. The real test is what do members of that community of faith think?
