Can blasphemy also happen when a word that has sacred meaning which was written down goes through an act of disposal?

Is it blasphemous to write "God" for example, and for that note to end up being disposed in the trash?

Can blasphemy also happen when a word that has sacred meaning which was written down goes through an act of disposal?

The context for this is bc when I was eating a snack, I noticed the wrapping had written on it the address of where it was made, and in the country where I live in I often see addresses (streets, cities, etc) with religious names on such food wrappers like “Holy Faith” or “Saint Peter” etc… Out of doubt, I have been collecting so many food wrappers with addresses like that due to me not knowing yet for sure what I should do with them, and I don’t want to offend the sacredness of the meaning behind such words by the way of disposing the wrapper…I’m terrified of the blasphemy against The Holy Spirit..

I now started to worry on even doing transactions with businesses that have food wrapped with addresses like that, bc it seems for some reason wrong to me to sell or buy something with such words and for that to probably end up in the trash by many..

Is there something in the Bible that can give some thought to this? What verses are out there talking about a similar topic to enlighten my conscience? Is it blasphemous to dispose of those wrappers in the trash?

I think I saw somewhere that Jews try not to write the name of God, idk why, maybe out of a similar fear as mine? And that they bury texts with sacred words instead etc… is there a way to treat the thing (paper, wrapper, etc) where a word with a sacred meaning has been written? Does the paper require a special treatment out of the sacred meaning of the word it may have?
And is it okay to transaction with a business that sells food wrapped in paper with an address which contains word that has a sacred meaning and for it to end in the trash by many?

I’m a non-denominational Christian btw


Pls help my conscience :(
Thank you!

Pray about this > trusting God to guide you.

There is also the concern, then, about what to do with worn-out Bibles and hymnals.

And out-of-date dictionaries have names of God.

And there are endless mailings from missionaries and ministries, with God's names.

And a newspaper could have God's name in it . . . somewhere. You could have to read the whole paper in order to make sure if His name is somewhere and needs to be rescued and preserved.

I think we can see how God would not want your attention tied up so much with that.

How is this helping you to stay attentive to God Himself, then?

Blessings Sofiahh! It is not blasphemous. But it is a signal something is messing with you. You know what to do when you are being messed with. So put your mind at ease.

No, it's not.

You can stop worrying.
