She didn't say it back!

Though that could be amusing. "May the Dagda bless you, too!" Let them figure it out...if they can.

Or one of my guardians - Macha (Yes, one of my guardians is an aspect of the Morrigan. )

If you see him again and he asks if your saved just say, "I don't need to be saved since I have no original sin. I'm one of the other people."

I wonder why more people don't just say "Gesundheit"? It carries the same basic implication (i.e., "I'm guessing that you're a bit sick, get better"), everyone I've ever said it to seems to know what it means, but it has no religious connotation at all. It literally just means "health/healthiness", with the implication of "may you be healthy".

Exactly. My father, whose paternal grandfather was a German immigrant to the US, tends to say Gesundheit and it always works for me too

At the Old Country Store with Rocking Chairs on its Porch:

My manager told me to start telling customers I love Jesus when they ask me (believe it or not, I was asked this a few times)

I responded to him, "Sooooo....I'm not Christian you know...so, to get this straight......

You want me to lie to a customer? Interesting!

My usual response is ," I don't discuss personal matters while on a time clock." and wish them a good day (and wonder why people say the things they do)

LadyKelli...my brain just asploded over what your boss told you to say. So glad you refused!!

O_o That's...15 bazillion kinds of wrong. Your boss was a huge jerk.

I figure people are trying to be kind to me if they say "God Bless You". I'd accept it as a wish that good things come my way, but I'd be upset if I felt forced to say it back. That's not nice.
