    I'll either say "Bless you" or "_______ you", depending on the person.

    I say Bless you more than God bless you, but it is definitely a habit for me to say it.

    I say the same thing, kinda avoids offending some folks in a way.

    Seeing as in how I do not believe in God I most certainly do not say "God bless you"

    I never understood the whole sneezing etiquette anyway.

    Why don't people make some religious phrase or insinuation when someone uses some other bodily function like coughing or farting? God bless you for that too huh?

    Usually, if someone else farts around me, I say God Damn it.

    LOL @ El Kabong.

    I agree. I was being sarcastic in my statement. Truthful, but sarcastic.

    To be polite, I always say bless you if someone sneezes. When I was a jw, I always felt bad not being able to say it.

    Hi Neal, this is something that is not easy for me to say to anyone. I either say the German version, which I think, means Good Health to you. Maybe Animal knows. or I just say " Goodness " and then wash my hands if it's a cashier handing me my change.
