In my experience most atheists know the bible much better than the average theist.

Most rational reasonable people react to reading the bible by rejecting god and becoming atheists.
Only if they can't read between the lines and don't truly love wisdom. There is a reason God permitted the Bible to phonetically be identical to "buy bull"...IT clearly wants intelligent minds to question it.
Any moron can read between the lines whatever shit they want to read there to most easily fool themselves.

According to Genesis.

Adam lived 930 years, Seth lived 912 yrs, Enos lived 905 yrs, Cainan lived 910 yrs, Mahalaleel lived 895 yrs, Jared lived 962 yrs, Enoch lived 365 yrs Methuselah lived 969 yrs, Lamech lived 777 yrs, Noah lived 950 yrs

I guess that's a long time to spend in hell. There's just no hope. It's all so mysteriously scary to be honest.

Really?
Please point to the relevant passages in the bible where it says that!!
Besides which - when you are an atheist, there is no such thing as blasphemy in any meaningful sense.

Sheesh, I was just asking a very simple question.

Seems like neither Christian nor atheist, nor atheist biblical scholar, is willing to define blasphemy according to Christian doctrine.

Such dancing and dodging of this simple, pure question.

I'm not a Sherlock by any means, but I'd wager the twisting and turning dramas are an indication there's something important there.

Interesting.

You did not ask anyone to define it; neither theist scholar nor atheist scholar. Go back and check your own words.

But if you are genuinely puzzled (which seems your default state) I suggest you look the word up. If you can't think why such a concept would not be meaningful to an atheist, I can let you know. DO not be afraid to ask.

Practice Makes Perfect
by Michael R. Burch

I have a talent for sleep;
it’s one of my favorite things.
Thus when I sleep, I sleep deep ...
at least till the stupid clock rings.

I frown as I squelch its damn beep,
then fling it aside to resume
my practice for when I’ll sleep deep
in a silent and undisturbed tomb.

Faith: falling into the same old claptrap.
Religion: the ties that blind.

bible libel (ii)
by Michael R. Burch

ur savior’s a cad
—he’s as bad as his dad—
according to your horrible Bible.

demanding belief
or he’ll bring u to grief?
he’s worse than his horn-sprouting rival!

was this man ever good
before being made “god”?
if so, half your Bible is libel!

ur-gent
by Michael R. Burch

if u would be a good father to us all,
revoke the Curse,
extract the Gall;

but if the abuse continues,
look within
into ur Mindless Soulless Emptiness Grim,

& admit ur sin,
heartless jehovah,
slayer of widows and orphans ...

quick, begin!

During many ages there were witches. The Bible said so. The Bible commanded that they should not be allowed to live. Therefore the Church, after doing its duty in but a lazy and indolent way for 800 years, gathered up its halters, thumbscrews, and firebrands, and set about its holy work in earnest. She worked hard at it night and day during nine centuries and imprisoned, tortured, hanged, and burned whole hordes and armies of witches, and washed the Christian world clean with their foul blood. Then it was discovered that there as no such thing as witches, and never had been. One does not know whether to laugh or to cry. ~Mark Twain


Exodus 22:18 - Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
