"God bless"

Hull but travel regularly

This was said to me by the bloke on the till as he gave me my receipt in tescos. I know there's a good intent behind it and while I'm not religious personally I certainly didn't take offence to it. I'm just not convinced this should be said in that circumstance. What's everyone think?

I tell my atheist ex that he's being a hypocrite when he says Bless you to someone who sneezes

He's so easy to wind up

Why not? This is still a free country and we should all be grateful for that. We still have freedom of speech handed down by generations.

Anyone who thinks that his remark was out of order should get a life ffs.

In the paper today was a report that some politician wants rugby fans to stop singing Delilah! He states that the song is about violence to women!

OMG the worlds going mad,

We should embrace the fact that we (still) live in a tolerant, free and generous country and if someone says God Bless - well good for them.

It doesn't mean anything anyway. It's just like the "have a nice day" crap that gets spouted by superficial types.

OP my family are Irish Catholic and my parents often say "Good Luck now and God Bless" when saying goodbye. It's just there way. In some parts of Ireland it wouldn't be an unusual thing to hear. It's a bit like "Take care".

I'm agnostic, but used to like the way Dave Allen used to say "And may your god go with you" at the end of his programs

I would see it as a blessing...... Unfortunately nowadays people would most likely get offended, I get offended when people are talking to me and come out with foul language in a sentence but it's where society is heading.

I would just have read it as a pleasantry.

The actual meaning if you thought about it would never enter my head.

Now the young girl in the bank that calls me darling seems odd cause it stands out

No different to people saying "oh my God" in my opinion.

People say God, Jesus, Christ and all sorts of phrases without ever thinking of religion.

It's probably a habit, and it's no different to someone saying "bless you" when you sneeze.

I don't mind, just because I wasn't blessed with the gift of faith, doesn't mean others can't rejoice in theirs, equally if someone said to me Allah be with you, or here chrishna (forgive my spelling) I wouldn't be bothered, but thats me
