Blshemy,Theologically is defined as. the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God.so no Christmas Carols are not scriptural, so parodying them does not assign oneself the rights of God, as in altering the Scriptures. PS Life is hard enough without worrying about such trivial matters.

Since when was 'Jingle Bells' a Christmas carol? It is has no religious content whatsoever.



More generally, it would depend on the nature and intent of the parody. If the pardoy was done in a light hearted way, and did not contain anything disrespectful to God, then there would be no problem. But if the parody was specifically anti-religious, or abusive to God, or trying to hijack a religious song for political purposes or secular ideology, then it would almost certainly be a sin.

What a nasty idea, if any of you really had any of those disorders I doubt you would be laughing at that sick Card or whatever it was supposed to be. I do have a Sense of Humour to save you asking I just don't think it is right to be 'funny' at Others misfortune.
