What does an atheist say to a person who has just sneezed?
"Bless you"? "Use bleeding handkerchiefs why don't you?" Or hundreds
of others depending upon context.
And I'm most amused that you're reduced to the, erm, '"argument" from
common expressions'.

hahahaha this is a topic I enjoy...
what do you say when a person coughs? Most people say nothing. So why does a
sneeze get a special blessing? It's stupid.
I used to say "bless you" or "gesunheit" until I decided it was a stupid
reflex action. I suffer from allergies, and sometimes I have uncontrolable
sneezing fits - I'll sometimes sneeze half a dozen (or so) times in a row.
One time this happened when I was in a class in college - and people near me
kept saying "god bless you" after each sneeze. I just wanted it to end and
not to have it bring more attention to me. I realized that these people
couldn't NOT say it. Their brains are programmed to say it and they have no
choice not to.

Oh, you'd love me.
First I say Guzundhiet and then once your sneezing fit is over I'd add:
Okay, don't hog the fucking limelight!

Depends, if they have a huge globule of snot dripping off their chin I
might point that out, then again, I may just laugh. Mostly I ignore
people so silence is the norm.

Varies.
Gesundheit, bless you, cover your mouth, etc.
You realise the custom originated due to the belief that your soul was
separating from your body and without the "bless you", evil spirits could
enter?

My 8th grade daughter likes to say "Devil Bless You". She wants to see
what will happen. She's the same daughter who put her tooth under he
pillow, then didn't tell anyone she'd lost it, until the next morning when
she'd proven the tooth fairy was a myth.
I say "gezundheit". It means "good health".
Funny how the "god bless you" thing got started. Apparently some people
believed your "soul" could leave your body via a sneeze. What a load.

Personally, I don't say anything to someone who sneezed. It's an
involuntary reflex. I don't say anything when someone yawns, so why
when someone sneezes? *shrug*

Heh, I am reminded of a cartoon that appeared in my college sociology book.
It was in a section about attention-seeking and how it can manifest in
different ways, from class clown to street preacher to serial murderer. It
showed a flasher (from the back; you can see he is a flasher because no pants
are visible below the hem of his trenchcoat) with his coat open to two
elderly ladies, both looking at the man with neutral expressions. The caption
reads, "Lovely fabric. You can't buy coats with nice linings like that any
more."

I dunno'. Generally when it happens like _that_, "inadvertantly" and
not because of something hot & heavy going on in the trenches, it's
not really all that pleasurable. Messy, certainly, but not like an
actual _orgasm_ or anything. :-\
