I say "God Bless You." Fun fact, this was started way back in the day when people believed a demon/bad spirit was being expelled from the body when a sneeze occurred, and it was said to prevent re-entry into the host and give blessing to the person who rid themselves of said demon.

First sneeze: god bless you
Second: god save you
Third: go to hell

Yeah I say it.

So, why use a curse substitute? Seems odd to not want to curse and then go out of your way to use a word that sounds like it.
Back to the topic, I say "blesha"

Don't say "Bless you" or "God bless you" after an atheist sneezes. They'll ignore you or say I don't believe in God. It's so annoying

I do

Although I was raised to say "Bless you", I say "Gesundheit" more often. If it's someone I'm familiar with, I'll say "Again" after multiple sneezes.

Lol. Zero common sense.
What won't people believe?

Well.....I don't know. It is like drinking an O'Douls instead of a Corona I guess.

Because he doesn't want the responsibility for saying the curse word. He puts it on you, by subbing it out with a word that makes you think of it. Louis CK has a bit on this
