What's the biggest slap to God's face?

I think that saying his true name aloud was supposed to get you on his s*** list pretty quickly. Going one up from that, I would imagine that singing his true name aloud and getting Simon Cowell to rate your performance is a hell of a lot worse.

Tell people that it is better to pretend to be one of his followers "just in case".

Never did understand why an all powerful being would be so afraid of its own name.

I think it's an authoritarian thing. Kind of like people who insist on being called "Sir".
Nothing.
IMO, kick God, he'll just inquire about the well-being of your foot.
In other words, insult God with words, he'll just ask if you're feeling okay. Shout at him, he'll offer some water to soothe your throat.
My opinion, anyway.

Well, I myself have done some pretty offensive stuff in god's eyes. I used to be forced to attend a catholic church, and I would go up to get the eucharist, but instead of eating it I would put it in my pocket, and bring it home and set it on fire. Haha so maybe setting the body of Christ on fire is a pretty bad offense to god?

That would upset any Catholic. How old were you when you did this ? You must be very upset with your mom and dad.

Suicide is not an ultimate slap, it is an ultimate show of love:
John 15:13
No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Put words in his mouth and use him as a sock puppet (i.e. religion).

Welp, I can't argue with that.

Providing God exists, there would be nothing us mere mortals could do which would offend God. We could only ever offend ourselves in this deity's eyes.
Not showing respect for your fellow mere mortal, made in G-d's image.
The chances of 99.99% of humanity getting the 'true name' right... 0.01%
Saying that, intent does count, if one is attempting to intentionally blaspheme.
I'd say offense against a child is pretty up there...

Magic.
Ancient people used to think that if you knew a being's real name then you had power over it, there is an Egyptian story where Isis tricks Ra into revealing to her his true name, needless to say hilarious antics ensued. I'm pretty sure ancient cultures used to give their kids public names and private names as well.

Nothing you can do or say can tick God off, It only influence your own soul.
Job 35:6-8 If you have sinned, how does that affect God? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what have you done to Him? If you are righteous, what do you [by that] give God? Or what does He receive from your hand? Your wickedness touches and affects a man such as you are, and your righteousness is for yourself, one of the human race [but it cannot touch God, Who is above such influence].
I guess not even Christians (some) care enough to really get to know God.

Very true and yes in some cultures it was incredibly rude to call somebody by their real name. However, surely an all powerful god would have nothing to fear?
