    Hmmm, this is a bit iffy, but I'll let it stay as long as there's no religion bashing.

    I think it means something along the lines of 'good luck' to a ship or sailer.

    It's kind of tradition isn't it? I'm sure non-Christians here would say it anyway.

    God Speed means a quick and safe journey under God's watchful eye, be it by foot, ship, horse, etc..
    O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean

    When you "God Speed" to someone it means you hope they get to their destination with God's speed. So they get there really fast like GOd would if he used his ultra fast speed.

    Yes please no religious bashing... just asking the meaning of the phrase.
