in response to a "god bless you";

Keep this in mind - statistically, at LEAST 75% of the people you ask for money that DON"T give you any, are christians. An atheist just gave you a fiver (or whatever)

When they say "God bless you" I've learned just to smile and go about my business.

They've got it rough enough.
