    shut your fucking mouths and take the god damn blessings.
    some of you fuckers are way out of your minds.
    someone trys to be polite to you and you feel uneasy about it?
    that is weird as fuck in my book.
    some of y'all need a black eye.



    CRY BABIES
    PUSSIES
    take your pick

    does it have to be one or the other ? ... cuz I'd say ungrateful cry babies AND pussies...

    it appears God's no longer in fashion, so upon a sneeze, they may prefer Devil Fuck You to God Bless You

    when the saying started it was actually meant as a blessing. But I think over time it lost any connection to religion. Now I just see it as something to say too be polite. Take 'holy shit' for example, are you really tryin to bless a pile of shit. No its just something you say. But I hear what ur sayin. When someone near me sneezes I either say Salud or cover your nose when you sneeze you fucking slob

    Well it is pretty stupid.
    The need to put other people down because you don't agree with them is ridiculous actually, and you probably aren't a very happy person generally. So I agree with you TA.

    yeah no shit.
    some of these folks here are way bent out of shape about something that is really just nothing more than being pollite and kind to each other.

    i don't mind when someone says it to me. and normally i say nothing when someone sneezes, no "bless you", no "god bless you"... nothing. (although with women i may say something, depends how horny my manhood is at that given moment... :mrgreen: )

    who gives a shit?
    obviously some of you do :crazy:

    that's because some people look for any reason to be a cocksucker to their fellow man.

    agreed. i can't ascertain why this particular discussion was bumped, unless it was to just stir things up. it was over pages ago. i hope this does not turn into "death penalty redux"...

    some people say god bless you, some don't....some welcome the blessing from a stranger, some don't. i can't be bothered wasting the energy to think about it...

  • why all the anger and violent suggestions? I started this simply to ask if anyone felt the same way. Some do, some don't. Look at the first page. All very light-hearted and even slight embarassment that I felt this way. I don't think anyone's getting all bent out of shape about this but you. Despite what you and GF think, there was no fishing for religion bashing at all. It never is. Sorry some will go to any lengths to get defensive about something. Some always think it's always about religion bashing. I just find it odd that we correlate a bodily function with God. Do you say a hail Mary when you fart? Didn't think so.

    Calling names and suggesting violence is not necessary.

    if anyone is offended by another person saying "God bless you"

    just create a tshirt that says "no God blessing needed here." you can only wear it when you have a cold.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.

    Without having to go through the whole thread again, I think it was explained why the 'bless you' after a sneeze - bubonic plague and sneezing being a symptom (thus a blessing when sneezing), soul being thrown out of the body with a sneeze (guess it would have to be a pretty big one!) and the 'bless you' sort of counter-acting this, etc.

    Then it just became part of the language, with the religious symbolism losing it's meaning. Just something one says, a very banal expression in the English language.

    I'm sure if farts had ever been a symptom of a mass killer disease in the 'old' days or if they thought when one farted, they lost their souls, we would also be saying 'bless you' everytime - as long as they were not silent farts.
