Almighty Sneeze

Interesting thought. When someone sneezes, we say 'God bless you'. This is a throwback to the days of the black plague when those suffering from this awful sickness would sneeze as a symptom and those nearby would invoke the blessing of God to ward off the plague.

Fast-forward some 600 years, we still say 'bless you' today. That's all fine and good, wishing the 'sneezer' well.

What if God were to sneeze? What would you say? 'Bless yourself'?

I would have to ask God if there are allergens in Heaven. And, if so, why? I put up with that here my whole life.

I have a theory about that too. Try this on for size:

If there were no evil, there could be no good.
If there were no illness, there could be no health.
If there were no poverty, there could be no wealth.

In other words, for all the good things in life to exist, the opposite must also provide a contrast to be compared with. Maybe it's the same in heaven?

Nothing in the universe can cause God to sneeze. Maybe He cries over all the innocent babies that Planned Parenthood sacrifices for the Democrat Party.

No, it's not the same in Heaven. It's lack of information to think that. If you should read the Bible you would see that there are no tears in Heaven.
