I doubt it....the Bible (I do forget which book).... says that any sin can be forgiven -- except for unbelief.

Umm...no. You are speaking of "the unforgivable sin" which is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, whatever THAT means. It really does not translate to not believing.
Matthew 12

Yes. that is a difference. Unbelief can be forgiven if you change your mind but apparently blaspheming the Holy Spirit can never be forgiven, even if you change your mind and repent for it.

Really?

Well, you'll never be forgiven, though it's never specified who is never going to forgive you or what they're gonna do about it.

Well, man is to forgive, and God can forgive too. I see nothing in "the Holy Spirit wears army boots" that is blasphemous or requires forgiveness. It's more nonsensical or humorous than anything else. Maybe there evil in your heart to where you want to judge that statement as being stronger than it is? It's better to leave it to God to determine than yourself; you just might get it wrong. We don't have to react and make judgements on every single thing we hear. You can feebly play the judge, or turn it over to someone who sees things infinitely clearer than yourself.

Hmmm.

How about, "The Holy Spirit dresses up in women's clothes on Friday nights and goes dancing in gay clubs?"
