Of course there can be many ways people commit blasphemies against God. For example using a trolling and bullying tagline that reads "Freepers: Not as smart as I'd hoped they'd be" while senselessly wasting the time of Christians on FR instead of joining us defending against attacks against God - is in a way a blasphemous act against God.

Then there is your myopic view of blasphemy that only defines a single narrow definition against 1/3 of The Holy Trinity.

blasphemy
blas·phe·my [blas-fuh-mee]
noun, plural blas·phe·mies.

1. impious utterance or action concerning God or sacred things.

2. Judaism.
a. an act of cursing or reviling God.
b. pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton (YHVH) in the original, now forbidden manner instead of using a substitute pronunciation such as Adonai.

3. Theology . the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God.

4. irreverent behavior toward anything held sacred, priceless, etc.: He uttered blasphemies against life itself.
