Why is being baptised a second time blaspheming?

Good question... it isn't! To begin with, because to blaspheme, according to Webster's Dictionary, means "to speak irreverently or profanely of or to God" Some people in this thread resort too easily to insulting others when they cannot intelligently discuss an issue.

I'm not just preaching to the choir :-) I just don't know how to address my answer to 2 posters at the same time. I surely would like to know how!

Use a semicolon to seperate the names and type them in the "to:" box.

A second baptism is blasphemous because by agreeing to a second baptism you are publicly proclaiming that your first baptism wasn't real - that even though you were baptized in the name of the Trinity, the baptism had no effect.

In other words, you deny that Christ has any power to save you from your sins unless you give Him permission.

He doesn't need your permission and to assert that He does is blasphemous.
