I say bless you. Please don’t think I’m saying it because I think your soul has left your body, LOL!

So what is the purpose of you saying “god bless you” to me?

Prevent any negative consequences from your soul temporarily leaving your body.

Yee, that's why I say it.

I say Bless You because of Singles, and I'm not remotely religious.

I'd really hate to be so miserable in life to find offense with someone wishing me well. It has nothing to you with your belief in God, but it does in theirs. THEY want THEIR God to protect you. If you can't see that as a nice act, there is no hope for you.

I’m not saying don’t say it to me; I’m saying don’t get offended when I don’t say it to you. I’m not Catholic and I’m not going to bless you. Dang, Catholics don’t even allow women to be priests, so there’s that too, lol.

I agree it's a bit ridiculous, OP. I especially hate when someone is making a point about doing it after every sneeze and I'm in the midst of sneeze attack. I start to feel a little bad that we are going through this song and dance. I really don't need the bless you, but I get that it's super ingrained in some people.

It is an offensive micro aggression.

You are an offensive micro aggression. Someone saying bless you is not (it is simply a benign superstition done out of goodwill)

You must hate both when somebody holds the door for you and also when somebody doesn’t hold the door for you, huh?

Is it now?

What a weird thing to be offended about. It's a habit that is engrained in many of us. Just a weird little quirk of humans that I actually find really sweet and wholesome.
