Voted : When Adam tried to con God in the Garden of Eden
The most blasphemous incident of all time was when Adam stood right next to Eve and remained silent while she alone fought the devil with everything she had. Knowing that the Devil was lying, Adam said nothing, letting Eve take on the Devil by herself. Without any support from Adam, who had more experience than her, she was no match. Adam heard everything the devil said but said nothing to Eve against the devil—yet in the end, he blamed God. Eve could have blamed Adam saying, “Well, he ate the apple, too,” but she did not. And she didn’t blame the Devil, either. She told only the truth—she said the Devil fooled her, which he did. And she didn’t blame God. She took all responsibility upon herself while Adam tried to implicate God and Eve while avoiding implicating the Devil or himself. Note that God did not approach them until Adam consumed the apple. I believe this was because Eve consumed the apple in ignorance and so did not yet introduce sin into the Garden, while Adam consumed the apple in full knowledge of guilt, further complicated with his intention to implicate Eve and make a fool out of God. The Bible makes it clear that Adam was with Eve when she consumed the apple
Slow down forgetmenot didn't God tell both Eve and Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge?If that is the case how could she make eat the fruit in ignorance.
Also Adam was not with Eve when she ate the apple Eve was alone and the devil fooled her.Adam being a good husband trusted his wife and ate the food she gave him.Eve is at fault.
The bible specifically says Adam was with her.
Blasphemy like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Corrupt--when I said Eve was "ignorant", I meant it as being stupid, not unaware. The fact is, however, that Adam was with Eve whe the Devil spoke to and it was incumbent upon Adam to support Eve, which he did not do. Eve--and all the world--needed Adam's support and intervention, which he withheld. Both disobeyed--Eve out of stupidity, Adam out traitorousness. Look at the result--Adam accused God of evil and protected the Devil by withholding the truth. Eve, on the other hand, told only the truth and took upon herslef the blame for her own actions. Adam told only lies, but Eve never lied.
