When I was little, I thought that the story said that Jesus went around bragging that he was the son of god. you know, shoving it in peoples faces. Im really ashamed of it now, but back then i thought he got what he deserved. SORRY

I used to think Joseph of Joseph and his amazing techni-coloured dreamcoat was Jesus' dad.

I went to a small Christian school and someone told me Jesus was the sun and the light. I would be outside playing or just sitting around eating lunch and every now and then would look up at the sun and think "Wow, that's Jesus. He is bright and is changing colors right now." I didn't realize until years later than they meant the Son of God.

When i was younger, my father told me that i cant see God, but he lived in my heart. So for almost 10 years afterwords, whenever someone said the word "God", i would picture this angry robot with a pitchfork in my "heart" which looked vaguely like a red cave. to this day, i dont know where i got any of that from. i was kinda weird.

I used to believe God looked either Jafar from Disney's Alladin, an Indian man, or (duh) Jesus. I'm still only able to picture God as one of those. I also thought that The Antichrist was a guy who was actually shaped like 666, and not a human.

Dr. Strangeman OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE WEIRDOS

When I was about eight or nine, I was mystified by Psalm 23 - "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want". The all important comma was not apparent to me then, and I developed a sort of weird predestination as a result. I felt that if you were good, and God-fearing then you are allowed to exist without divine interference. Further, if you were fully developed, you'd just not need to bother Him. Which, very sadly, was the exact opposite of what I felt right then.

I used to believe God looked like the mascot for cinammon toast crunch cereal.

I remember back in sunday school that if you stomped on the ground you would hurt satan.

When I was about 8 I temporarily believed (well... had a theory, anyway) that there was a god for religion. Ie up in the sky there were several gods such as the christian god, allah, shiva, buddha (I think I thought buddha was a god then).

Frankie

When I was little I believed my guardian angles needed to rest and always saved room for them to sit down beside me.

Peggy

i used to belive that god was a giant police man flying around the earth

As a child in Brazil, someone told me that every night a spirit/saint would come to check on me while I slept.
I imagined her being a slave, with a long dress and wearing a headdress, and being all white.
I made sure I slept on time so she could check up on me, I was afraid I'd make her angry if I didn't sleep on time and she couldn't check on me.
Now being a firm Atheist, I still wonder about this ghost/saint...;)

I used to think that the Three Stuges were the Three Wise Men. When my dad told me some of the stupid things the stuges did, I thought it was pretty weird...
