The Blasphemy Challenge

Why do people do this? Is is merely to get attention? There really is no point. If you do not believe in God, then why go through all of the silly antics. However, they should note Pascal's Wager. A loose paraphrase would be that if God does not exist, then it does not matter if you believe or blaspheme God. We all die and that is it. However if He does exist and you do not believe in Him, or in this case, blaspheme Him, then the consequences are dire. Consequently to play it safe, one may as well believe. This is certainly not proof of the existence of God (there are proofs), but it makes one think - or it should make one think.
