...because "it's a silly superstion [sic] from long ago"?
(This was in relation to saying "[God] Bless You" when someone sneezes).

Yes, those silly superstitions from a long time ago. Now let those christians get back to their ritualized canibalism, eating the body of Christ!

I would think being dismissive of their God would be tantamount to blasphemy.
It's only my opinion, though, as I know little about Christianity bar what I have learnt from the examples set here in R&S.
I suppose if I really wanted to know what Christianity was about, I'd be best served talking to a Real Christian.
It might prove an eye opener, as I still believe they cant all be as bad as this lot.

The god Bless you thing was from a time where the Black Plague was present. Sneezing was a symptom of those who were about to become sick with it. So when someone says "God bless you" , I sometimes say, "Thank you, but I don't have the plague" or, "He does, thank you."

Isn't it a tad ironic that an 'educated' and 'enlightened' atheist/agnostic/whatever can't look at evidence and history and weight them appropriately but instead clumps it all together under equal importance?

Horribly ironic, but rather funny.

they even use sneezes to interject their cult nonsense and throw it in the faces of people who don't want to hear their garbage.
unbelievable.

No, Christians aren't (shouldn't be) superstitious.
No irony there.
