I read in a book that people used to think a sneeze was your soul trying to leave your body and saying "bless you" would either keep it from leaving or help it to reach heaven. Though it was a book for children so i can't say if it's a reliable source.

Heard that from multiple other sources as well. It's a stupid custom. I intentionally ignore people who say it hoping they'll get the hint.
