I say “God isn’t real”. Often times I get a chuckle.

I just blow them off and go among my business. All those people those people who say that are wasting oxygen.

I take it in the spirit in which it was offered, and say thank you

Thanks and then I move on with my life.

I say nothing just like I say nothing when a mentally challenged person says something to me. I recognize the inability to think rationally.

Yeah, the superstition trained response to a sneeze is quite frustrating to me. But, I just ignore that.
I was once asked why I was so rude by not thanking them for their blessing. I told them that I don't believe in superstition.
All other bless offerings are ignored by me, except when I grunt out of frustration.

I don’t give a reply.

I fake a good sneeze then ask them how the hell they new...!??

Just kidding. I say thanks, you too!

I simply say “thank you.” There is little to be gained by starting an uncomfortable discussion about religious believe systems just because they were trying to be nice. Besides, the act of starting such a discussion would be throwing their good intentions back in their face. To me, that would be uncharitable.

I didn't sneeze. If I did I ignore it.

Not necessary.

God bless what? It doesn't bother me in the least. It's just a saying people grew up with as far as I'm concerned.

as outspoken as I am, I usually ignore it. They are not ready to learn.

It all depends on the situation, the surroundings, who is saying it to me and their attitude while they're saying. All those things will dictate my answer back to them. But I am realistic I am a southern girl so 99% of the time it's thank you.

Thank you

Namaste

I say "thank you, but I didn't sneeze". Then the person looks very puzzled and walks away. 🙂

Depending on circumstances and my mood, "No thank you", "Hail Satan", and "May the Force be with you".

Thanks
