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
This is why we cover our mouths when we yawn, too. To prevent demons from entering our mouths. Pretty stupid stuff.

I do t see the point of it either. It was a phrase said when the Black Death was around, and when sneezing basically meant that you were dead.

It's irrelevant to now.

Thats what happens when you're a black man. Shit, if you had something in your hand at the time she might have screamed and called for the cops who were hiding in a bush a few yards behind waiting for the right opportunity. Life is rough for a colored.

The whole situation is dumb, but it would be nice if there was a more neutral alternative to "bless you"

"excuse you" is kinda mean, but the closest we have.

You were obviously shoving your religion down her throat.

It starts with bless you and turns into a crusade before you know it, OP.

Yeah, sometimes I throw in a "salud"

But those are all foreign language responses. Nothing really for English.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
I'd have said bless you again

She'd have a hard time being Irish, where saying hello translates to "God be with you".
