How to respond to "God bless you" statements

No need to tie the brand name label to it, one which carries the assumption that I share it. See, the problem with that is the unspoken assumption that you see something in me that needs your god to fix; and that is not something with which I am required to accept without comment.

If it were shown that God doesn't exist, the belief in Karma still would. When the begger says "God bless you" it is the same as saying, "May good karma come your way".

it is a sentiment that is no need of getting butthurt when it is expressed.
