Not germaine to this article; this is about blasphemy, what it is and why, not it a single state has a law on it
[[Judaism]] in the [[Old Testament]] states the following about blasphemy:
<blockquote>Those who speak blasphemy "shall surely be put to death". ([[Leviticus ]] 24:16)</blockquote>
[[Christianity]] also mentions blasphemy in the [[New Testament]]
<blockquote>But whoever blasphemes against the [[Holy Spirit ]] never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin. ([[Gospel of Mark|Mark ]] 3:29)</blockquote> In context, this is considered to be attributing the works of God to [[Satan]]. The teachers of the law acknowledged that [[Jesus]] was curing people of evil spirits, but then accused [[Jesus]] of having the power to drive evil spirits out of people because He Himself was possessed by an evil spirit. (Mark 3:22)
