Answer 1

No. I make it a point to say God Bless You.


Graduation day, I was told that in my valedictorian speech, I was not allowed to mention God. I, along with some others were very upset about this, so we decided that I would fake a sneeze and everyone would yell "God Bless You"

Answer 2

the reason human beings bless you is that when you sneeze that's asserted you're open to develop into possessed through an evil spirit, so a short blessing stops this taking position! in case you sneeze i wager you may bless your self. even though it will be too previous due after the time it took that you'll get your breath back! only for the list i don't have self assurance this myself.

Answer 3

I would if I knew if the person was a Christian or not but it might upset someone of a different faith or an agnostic because "bless you" is just a shortened version of "God bless you" just as "goodbye" is just a corrupted version of "God be with you"

Answer 4

Gott segnen Sie

Answer 5

I always do - its a habit and it just pops out automatically. I have a coworker that never says "bless you" but she is a Jehoveh's Witness so I wondered if they don't do that. Hmm, gave me an idea for another question, thanks!
