I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I don't mind if someone says 'god bless you' to me if I sneeze or if they don't know I'm an atheist, but when someone knows how I feel and says it to be an ass it really pisses me off.
And on that thought why would god have to bless you when you sneeze? Dumb.

Because when you sneeze magical godly "God-Sparkles" of "specialness" spray out.

There's an old myth that your heart stops for a moment when you sneeze, this has since been proven to be a myth. People would say god bless you because your heart resumed beating and you didn't drop dead.

I know it's the oldest come-back in the book but I always say immediately after they finish, "and I'll think for the both of us".
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

If someone says they'll pray for me i usually reply alongthe lines of "Thanks mate, i'll ask my imaginary friend to look out for you too"
