What Should you say when an Athiest sneezes?

What Should you say when an Athiest sneezes?
Answer at 5:15 in the video. Came across this clip somehow. Never heard of this man before, but it really concerns me how big of an audience he has. I also doubt that he really did have the exchange he claims to have had with an 'Atheist'.

What to say when an atheist sneezes? F-ing NOTHING. I had an involuntary expression of a bodily function - I did not save orphans from a fire. There's absolutely no need for comment. Unless you're also prepared to cry "Halleluyah" when I cough, "Praise Jesus!" when I yawn, or sing "God Save The Queen" when I fart...

Also - f*** Dane Cook, seriously. He's more of a hack, than Larry The Cable Guy...

*Pfuhh* "That was your change."

We say bless you sometimes. It's an odd quirky thing. It can be kind of sweet.

Yeah, I highly doubt it actually happened like he said. And whoops, atheists don't necessarily believe when you die nothing happens. If you're gonna get pretend atheists in your jokes, at least do your research.

"Let it all out."
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yeah I never go that. People leave me to sneeze in piece. And isn't a common misconception that Atheists can't believe in the 'supernatural'? I once knew a person who said they were Atheist and believe in magic. That's fine though because the only think that links Atheists to each other is a lack of belief in deities.

Proof that American Christians will buy anything market to them.

I stopped watching when he said the man in front of him answered,"god bless you" by proclaiming that he was an atheist. It never happened. People automatically say certain phrases without much thought. In the case of the phrase said after a sneeze, it is meant politely and has probably been said by a few atheists too.

Dan Cooke is playing to stereotypes that Christians have about arrogant atheists. This is how he makes money and he knows his audience. The addition of cursing probably make his audience feel edgy. What I want to know is why he doesn't brush his hair.

Yeah, I would no more acknowledge the existence of "God" by saying bless you than I do the existence of Thor every time I say "Thursday". That we tend to say anything at all is a cultural and linguistic hangover, the meaning of which has dissipated over time.

Another example: were I to exclaim "well, bugger me!" in response to surprising news, it may not be an invitation to penetrate me anally. Please ask first.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
