The 'Bless You' thing is actually quite interesting.
Since the Bible is clear a person's immortal soul is conveyed via the breath, it was/is (or should be if you're a Bible oriented person) a concern during sneezing the soul might be disrupted/dislodged from it's protective lair in the chest cavity and either (never totally clear to me which or both) the briefly unensouled body might be vulnerable to the sway of Satan (or his minions), or the briefly disembodied soul might be similarly vulnerable.
So, to ward off this substantial threat of Satanic depredation, apparently a simple "Bless you!" or "God bless you!" is all that is needed to deflect the entire might of the legion of darkness and protect the briefly vulnerable soul/person.
On a related topic, this religious concept (ordained by God Almighty) that the human soul is conveyed via the breath, is why we saw Henry Ford was so eager to collect in a bottle (on display in his museum to this day) the dying breath of Thomas Edison, his sincere belief being that he had snared, for his own purposes, the immortal soul of that great inventor.
Also, the phrase "Gave up the ghost" is another allusion to the human soul being conveyed via the breath, and giving up the ghost upon death is describing the soul being liberated from it's host body and then wafting up to heaven and it's final disposition.
And this leads us to that common and vile heresy, that prior to birth and the first breath that a human fetus is an ensouled person. Clearly, this is not the case, and maintaining the contrary is clear and open rebellion against God and His definition of human life.
I would take this opportunity to again admonish the Christians in the vicinity to turn away from this foul and vile heresy and get square with God!!
Praise Jesus !!

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
