sorry, im kinda new to Christianity. Im on my own with it. What's blasphemous?

"Blasphemous" is similar to "heretical." It means going against God in a very offensive way. So, for example, to "blaspheme" is to denounce God, curse him, etc.

Both of my parents are in Heaven and sometimes it just feels better if I talk/pray to them .. not sure if when I do it and hear my problem...I work it out myself ..or they somehow help... not sure but it makes me feel better .. also I truly miss not having them here and it makes them feel like they are still in my life. What harm could this be??? I know that GOD is my FATHER and that JESUS is My savior, the KING of KINGS...the LORD of LORDS...

I think it depends on your denomination. Catholics pray to Mary and the Saints all of the time. It's part of their doctrine.

I am not so familiar with the "rules" about this except for the Commandments (no other gods before me, etc). However, I don't believe that this counts as worshiping "false gods," because u aren't acknowledging Mary of the saints as gods, simply as holy people. I think people pray to angels like Michael of Gabriel for similar reasons.

Either way, it definitely depends on your denomination. And like I said, I'm unfamiliar with the specific viewpoints of each denomination on this subject. But if the Catholics do it, and if anyone else does, based on their religious viewpoint, I think that's perfectly fine.
