I say Happy Jesus's Birthday
Some people try to argue about that and I explain that it is the season for love and understanding and then I pop em between the eyes |

As an atheist I enjoy hearing whatever greeting a person feels comfortable using, merry christmas is great, happy holidays, happy hanukkah, whatever... just please don't bless me when I nasally eject some dust... it's simply involving me in someones ritual that irks, a greeting that mentions what season someone feels were in, should not be offensive in any way.

The reason for saying "Bless you" (or even "God bless you") is because your heart stops for a microsecond when you sneeze. It's a goodwill sentiment for not dying.
Atheist or otherwise, I'm sure we all can benefit from a courtesy such as this. |

Topic hijacking! Bless you, God bless you etc.. for sneezing was actually based on a fear of spreading "demonic possession" the old way of viewing germs before Agostino Bassi or Leeuwenhoek started to etch the beginnings of germ theory into our history. I don't throw a hissy fit when someone blesses me, but those I know and call friends respect my wishes to not be blessed by someone, as I respect the religious friends I keep when they wish to not debate theology with me, or when I don't sit next to a woman and say "hey, nice shoes wanna f..." respect is something important, especially when it is related to someone's core beliefs.
/rant off back on topic, I think if your comfortable with the reactions people have, anything is good including "Merry I'm freezing my (insert appropriate anatomy) off season to ya!" |
