 Allah, Bless Me

I tend not to react to people who say "Bless you" after I sneeze. Or I'd simply respond with "No thank you."
Presuming I believed in god, am I now obliged to congratulate someone on their quickness to react, with thanks? Not everybody is a 'believer', so why accept the gesture? Why do people instinctively say it? Shit's gotten old real quick.
Milhouse from The Simpsons once said it's because your soul escapes when you sneeze, and saying bless you brings it back to the body.
I just say "Gesundheit" without any expectation of a response. You?

Its just common courtesy to say "thank you" no matter what religion you are.

religion has wonderous ways of sparking different emotions in people. tis crazayy.

If an atheist takes it as an insult, it is because he is a moron, "bless you" is totally a good thing to say, if you get mad at someone for this, he should just understand it is not because he doesn't believe in God that people cannot talk of religions to him, why always separate when you can live together peacefully?

i can agree with this. i basically avoided saying it to not get a rise from some folks. its just crazy how its embedded into our reflex systems and we say it without question.
btw i say 'pika' right before 'chooo' as opposed to ahh-choo.

perhaps i'm just seeing this from a selfish attitude. ever since i got into a discussion earlier about the casey anthony trial my mood has been off today and totally close-minded.
sometimes i catch myself saying bless you to people. i've grown up around peers of different religions and am pretty tolerant to them.
i sound like tracy mogan now

I never say anything. In fact, sometimes I just keep sneezing. And they keep saying "God bless you" ...as if that does something. What if I were a Satanist, hmm?
Next time it happens, I'm going to say, "QUIET...I'm trying to sneeze over here(dumbass)!"

most folks just say "bless you". "god bless you" is reserved for the full on religious types. either way i don't mind it. everyone should be blessed now and then regardless of your religious views.

I hate when people say, "God Bless You." I don't fuckin believe in god so he didn't bless shit. I like to say, "Satan Posses You" instead. It pisses Christians off and I find it humorous. Or I'll just simply say, "Posses You".

Do you think people are trying to offend you by saying "bless you"? That is so egotistical, I cant even believe it. Its called being something called "nice".

It sure is, reasons? What is a religion? It is a belief that attempt to explain the environment around the persons, what is science? Same thing
Why would science be "the truth"? Because scientists say so
Why would a religion (ex: any monotheist religion, but here it will be with Catholicism, doesn't necessarily works with animism) be "the truth"? Because Vatican say so...
It is not because you were educated with science that it is necessarily the truth, I prefer to say it is an explanation, among so many others which are all coherent in themselves, I do believe it is a religion, because people these days venerate scientists like priests & "The Science" like a god.

I'm not offended by it, I just like to change things up. I don't like hearin GOD before everythin, it's retarded. God bless this, god bless that, under god and blah blah blah. I'm not egotistical at all. Hearin people say, "bless you" doesn't bother me. It's the GOD bless you part that's annoyin.

Many people do have this mind set, and it is through their own ignorance of science that they arrive on science as the source to all answers.
Throughout history science has proven itself to be completely wrong, the one thing that sets it aside from religions is the fact science can change its "truths", eventually, to meet reality.
Science can't answer all questions yet, nor do I think it will ever be able to, but at least their approach is more logical than religious institutions.

about 90% of this thread is just

I'll just put this out there
An atheist cannot tell a theist their beliefs are wrong, and vice versa.
I cannot drink from your cup, and you cannot drink from mine
Science and the occult are the same thing
Remember that scientists constantly have to revise their ideas, and before they do so, they are "wrong"
Believing in anything 100% is pure stupidity

Wow A7X You're really grasping for anything at this point.... You know that's not what I meant
But I'm not going to argue with someone like you, and I refuse to even attempt to take a sip from your cup
Anywhoooo......... this is all the evidence I need to believe in god
LOL

I get so worked up about this stuff. I dont want to be all "athiests are stupid for believing in nothing" but its people like that that push me damn near close. Im done with this thread also, cause I really dont want to get banned over trolling MB. And im not demonstrating being a open minded person either, so for that, I apologize MB.

I used to think religion was a great evil, but that argument is really just another distraction to keep us divided. I still don't find most of it entirely logical, but I can understand people have different desires out of life than I.

Many people do have this mind set, and it is through their own ignorance of science that they arrive on science as the source to all answers.
Throughout history science has proven itself to be completely wrong, the one thing that sets it aside from religions is the fact science can change its "truths", eventually, to meet reality.
Science can't answer all questions yet, nor do I think it will ever be able to, but at least their approach is more logical than religious institutions.
Fucking NOT retarded.

I'll just put this out there
An atheist cannot tell a theist their beliefs are wrong, and vice versa.
I cannot drink from your cup, and you cannot drink from mine
Science and the occult are the same thing
Remember that scientists constantly have to revise their ideas, and before they do so, they are "wrong"
Believing in anything 100% is pure stupidity
Edit- the smartest man is the one who knows he knows nothing
I like where you were going with that, but the underlined part bugs me. I don't think people who say they believe in science say that scientifically "proven" facts (That phrase bugs the fuck out of me as well because one of the most primary tenets of science is that NOTHING can be proven) are the hard fast truth. I think what they're saying is they believe in the idea that you can take outside inputs, experiences and observations and use them to reformat your understanding of your surroundings. Whereas most religions are founded on a steadfast set of laws that are unbendable and permanent regardless of new information, science is malleable and constantly striving for improvement.
At least that's how I interpret statements like that

Look at how far science has come. The sun used to revolve around us. Now its the opposite. What else is the opposite now?

going back even further, the entire universe used to revolve around us as well. Even further, the Natives used to think the night sky was a painted bowl turned upside down over the ground at night.
People are funny.

I find Native American religion to be amazing. It was so organic and thankful. Especially kokopelli, he carried songs on his back that brought rain and harvest, and fertility to women. Thats a big range of abilities lol.

Thanks homie. I've spent basically my entire life being scientific, and more importantly philosophizing about the need for science.

both fields have proven to have their unique qualities. even some of the eastern religions have parallels with modern science like quantum theory or other branches of physics. cant say much about western though, for i lack understanding.
this thread turned onto a dead end street.

Same here bro. My whole family has always tried pushing their Christian ways on me but I refuse to accept something that I cannot and will not believe. It's cool to know I'm not the only one that feels strongly about science.

Ahh but I don't use my appreciation for the scientific method as a way to discredit religious people. I believe there's a time and a place for both, as long as they're used properly.

I think if all were one, one really could be for all. Science included.
