[QUOTE=bobsmit;32593482]A silly point nonetheless, but the controversy is undeserved. He's just a guy who has a silly rule, not some antireligious nutjob.[/QUOTE]
While I don't think he's a "antireligious nutjob" this is still wrong to do that to students who most likely say it out of pure habit, I don't think about it when someone sneezes, I just say "bless you."
There should be a difference between separation of church and state and the total fucking exorcism of Religion from every single aspect of society ever. This is disgusting.

dane cook is a horrible person
Wow what a dick
[QUOTE=geoface;32587796]bless you doesn't necessarily mean it's religious, I'm athiest and even I say stuff like "god dammit", "god almighty", "jesus christ!" but I'm Irish so it's basically part of my language.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I just use those words as part of our language, not religious references.
What the fuck are you supposed to say then?
In Japan, it is simply ignored, along with other bodily functions.
My biology teacher always made everyone say 'bless you' whenever somebody sneezed. His intention was to promote manners. A lot of people had him, so around half of any class will say 'bless you' if someone sneezes now. :v:
All the guys at my school say "GOD BLESS YOU" very loudly whenever someone sneezes regardless of what they believe in.
This is just blown out of proportions.
Any cocky ass kid can piss of a teacher, but he is safe if he say god bless you? Bullshit.
people like this make none religious people look bad
I think this story has been reported horribly.
I'm not a religious guy at all but I still say "Bless you" when someone sneezes, it's common courtesy.
Haha where im from, the moment someone sneezes it turns into a race for the students to say "god bless you"
Even my anatomy professor who is CLEARLY an atheist says "bless you"

But it makes one high school teacher in Vacaville, California, sick to hear it.[/quote]
Did the author seriously change the entire meaning of the story just to make a stupid pun? I mean, I can almost picture him typing that and laughing heartily to himself.
And as a result, almost half the people on page one thought it was a religious debate...
Anyway, I believe the teacher's reasons (My mom's a middle school teacher. I know what students can be like sometimes)
That being said, it's kind of a silly way to deal with it.
In Spain, we say "Jesus" instead of "Bless you". There's also a variant which is "Salud", but only communists use it.

It's partially the OP's fault, but mostly the readers faults. If a person is too stupid to even read the article they really shouldn't even be posting here. I mean, the article isn't even quoted; readers should be a bit suspicious.
This thread really is a "shit post."
atheism is bullshit.
People either worship solid (such as money) / non solid (such as god/s) things.
Yet some cockvacuums actually believe, that atheism exists. :V

what on earth is wrong with you?
Do you believe that a square is unable to simultaneous be a triangle?
ARE YOU HONESTLY SAYING THAT UTTER DISBELIEF IN THE POSSIBLY OF SOMETHING IS IMPOSSIBLE?
what the fuck
also
'cockvacuums' is possibly the most reprehensible word I've read in a long term

fuck your disbelief in the existence of atheism is antithetical to your reasoning for your disbelief of the existence of atheism

Don't know about you but I'm pretty sure I'm atheist.
You only believe in atheism, if your daddy has kept creaming on your ear, eventually the cream ending up your brains and messing it up.
As said, incest is bad.

[QUOTE=ratman_122;32585498]I had an athiest biology teacher freshman year of highschool who would flip out at the mention of religion so of course everyone went out of the way to yell GOD BLESS YOU when someone sneezed.
She would send them to the principal and he would laaaaugh and then just send them back to class.[/QUOTE]
Your biology teacher sounds like the biggest douchebag ever
