People once believed that when you sneeze you lose your Soul therefore they offered blessings to those who sneezed for their Soul to return whole. Its similar to the belief that taking pictures stals your Soul. Its just the silliness of man trying to gain knowledge. Some learn and grow and some get stuck not wanting to tempt faith |
