I never really understood the point of the saying. We're obviously living well outside the era in which that tradition or whatever you'd call it was created based on out-dated beliefs, so why continue? Sneezing is a normal biological function. I don't need someone to say, "Bless you" after I sneeze any more than I need it after fouling up a toilet bowl, farting (sharting!), or having hiccups.

In short, it's stupid. It serves no purpose as I feel neither damned, dirty (well, maybe physically in some events), or in some mystical danger after one of these perfectly normal events take place.

It's called being polite. I understand where that's lost on much of your generation.

Yeah, I get that. But... polite about what? Oh, you just sneezed! I should say something to, uh, be nice? Because sneezing must have been traumatic!

edit: As to my generation... how old am I, again?

Show up at the next Boston gathering. When I pinch your ass, you damned well better say "thank you."

No worries. I'm sure the next person in there exorcised/cleared the room immediately. I realize that does nothing to help you, though.

It may have originally been religious in nature, but it is just being polite now. There was a fun article about atheists on cracked.com recently.
