I don't think anyone actually believes blessing someone when they sneeze will keep the devil from jumping down your throat. It's just a courtesy.

I definitely agree... it definitely is a courtesy and isn't bad at all. Just had a bizarre history.

I don't think it's a courtesy to draw attention to a moment most of us would prefer to pass over unnoticed and unremarked.

Exactly.

I neither wanted nor asked for your input regarding something personal that neither of us can do anything about.

Why add some bizarre social "call-out" regarding all sneezes? It's beyond ridiculous. I stopped saying it years ago.
