"So you think it's blasphemous if people claim that the term 'God' can also mean the gods of the sun or fertility rites or reason or rain, etc.?"

Basically, yes. To equate in any way the God of creation with anything else that mankind can worship or call "god" is just about THE definition of blasphemy.

What do you propose as the punishment for blasphemy?

I was just asking because some people (who are not atheists) seem to think otherwise on the Boy Scouts thread.
I only tried to point out over there that the term 'God' (with the Big "G") either means the Judeo-Christian god and only him (when it suits them) or it refers to whatever supernatural concept one can think of (whenever this is suitable, i.e. constitutionality of the term 'God').
