Can it be as "bad" as 'Stand up for Judas' - Dick Gaughan?Frankly, I'd just tell them to go read the bit about the Road to Emmaus, that was just two blokes, having been scared for their lives as well, talking over what had happened. From the description you gave, it sounds like that is what your song was, people of the time discussing an issue that affected them. Don't we do the same with Becks and Posh ~ Bill and Monica??
Personally, I find blasphemy a bit overrated. Monty Python went out of their way to stress that Life of Brian was about Brian, not Jesus. They still got slated and the film was an all time best seller (although I understand there are states that won't stock it and indeed my own local cinema didn't show it for 2 years.....). People were burned at the stake for blasphemy when their only crime was to say that Jesus had a sense of humour.
If it has a good tune and people are concerned enough to think about the lyrics and remember them afterwards, then you have a good song. And good songs should never be left silent.
