Oh, hey.
I'm at the mall. Someone sneezes and I kindly say "bless you". This woman then tells me to refrain from using that phrase, as it can be offensive. And gave me a dirty look.

Like for fucks sake it's a god damn nice gesture. Don't give me your anti-religion bullshit. It's so annoying. If somone tells you a nice gesture, you say thank you regardless if you don't "believe it".

It's not like it was

She sneezes

"Hey you, shut the fuck up."

I'll never understand that shit.

I do that with my brothers. When they are sick and they cough I'll say things like that.

Uh, are you trolling? You were obviously in the wrong there. What right do you have to impose your beliefs on defenseless old women? Her day probably got ruined because of your blatant insensitivity.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
It's not like there's really an alternative phrase.

Why do we need a phrase at all? The theocratic establishment already dictates enough of our customs, so why are we compelled to perform the Christian equivalent of a Hitler salute every time someone merely sneezes?

That's why you say "Gesundheit"
It means "health" in German but it's used when someone sneezes.

Well, when I sneeze, I say "excuse me", because... I'm the one who made the obnoxious, unnecessary noise that I could've suppressed very easily. We don't bless people when people cough or belch, right? Maybe I'll start doing that just to see how people react...

also, yeah, it's a nice gesture and all, because people say it with good intentions--but like... have you ever thought about why?

the reason we say it at all is because back when we were all stupid, we used to think demons would fly up our nose when we sneeze, because apparently that's when we're most vulnerable--so we said bless you to vanquish the demon--but clearly that's not the case anymore. it's just an artifact of our vernacular now

but we know that demons don't fly up our nose
so what exactly are you saving me from?... if you wanted to bless me or whatever, why not just say it whenever

whatever, i'm entirely with the OP, i just don't agree with it being a "nice gesture"...
it's a neutral gesture

also, yeah, you forgot about "gesundheit", which basically means "i wish you good health," and that makes a little bit more sense
