in my whole life where somebody said "Bless you", and by the tone of their voice and the context of the comment, meant it as a polite form of "F*** you".
Every other instance was either an automatic response (i.e.-- I have atheist acquaintances who reflexively say "God bless you" in response to a sneeze), or as a genuine sentiment of greeting or well-wishing.
And I live in a profoundly baptist area of the country. The movie "Saved" could have easily been about one of the neighborhoods within 10 miles of my own.
Are you sure you're not just overly sensitive/paranoid about this?
