When I was younger I thought God lived up in the clouds, so whenever I was in an airplane I would look for Him.
Kat
i used to believe that god was the king in sleping beuty
stupid:D
when i was younger i thought god looked kinda like mr rogers and he sat in this small circular room all day with a bunch of computers and stuff.
I was born and raised catholic, the church I went to from when I was born to about 7, I always thought the priest was God. It made perfect sense to me because he was always at the front of the church. To this day I still see God as a short bald asian man.

I used to think that Jesus was born in a stable because every room at the inn was booked since it was Christmas.
DEEKOYEE
When i was around 4 or 5 I thought that God's name was Peter and God was his second name... i misheard "thanks be to God" as "Thanks Peter God"

I use to believe until theology class in 10th grade, that Pontious pilot was a mountain. And Jesus Crist was crucified in the shadow of this huge mountain. You know, he was crucified under pontious pilot.
When i was young, my mother and father told me after two of our cats died that cats go to "kitty heaven". So of course, if there was a seperate heaven cats got into, there must have been a seperate God! I wondered what he would look like and came up with an imagined pciture of a oscars-style statue of a cat. I never tried to imagine what "real" God looked like, so my thought of the Cat God shifted into my image of the "real" God. Whenever I saw a movie that depicted God as a human, I'd always get confused as to why people didn't think God looked like a cat.

For some reason when I was younger, I used to picture God looking exactly like Bob Ross wearing a long brown robe. (the painter that came on PBS).

When I was young, I asked my parents where Hell was. They told me it was under the ground. I pictured the Devil living about four inches under the surface of the earth. This, naturally, made me terrified of digging a hole. Not a good belief for a child who lived on a farm and was expected to help with the planting! (Oh, I was also terrified of sticks that were partially buried. I thought they were the Devil's horns and refused to approach them.)

You know in Pac man when those evil things chase you around?
I used to think that that's what Satan looked like.

My daughter went to sunday school fpor the first time when she was about 3. She came home with a picture with some odder than usual looking shapes on it. When I asked her what they were she told me they were 'cheeses'. I thought this was a strange thing to draw a sunday school but further questioning revealed she was supposed to draw 'Jesus' but had misunderstood.

I was never religious, but I had a very Christian friend in first or second grade. We were sitting on the floor one day, watching a class video, and she was telling me how she was very upset because she'd been to church on Sunday and found out during the sermon that baby Jesus had gotten a splinter in his foot. So, for a long time, I pictured Heaven as having hardwood floors...
When I was little, me and my cousins used to stay over at my great aunt's house for sleepovers, and we used to misbehave all the time and one day she told us: "ssshhhh kids can you hear the dogs barking? well that means that the devil is near...so I suggest you all go to bed right now". To this day when I hear a lot of dogs barking at the same time I think the devil is near.....and I'm 28!!!!!

When I was about five or six, I saw an episode of 'Unsolved mysteries' (Don't ask me why a six-year-old would watch something like that.) In it, was an episode about this church in Pennsylvania that had a statue of the Crucifix that would drip random tears of blood. After watching that, for the next few months, I thought that a naked, crying statue of Jesus was running around my bedroom window at night and stalking me. I was absolutely terrified .
Chris
I thought that the animals went in two by two for company. I thought Noah was concerned about them getting lonely so invited two of each kind along. It was only recently at the age of 25 that someone pointed out to me the real reason.
When I was about 6 or 7 and in a Lutheran Vacation Bible School class, I used to think that if we talked about how bad Satan was, he would be waiting at the door outside the church when we left, and would grab us all and take us to hell. This left my mind when I turned 10 and realized how boring the town I lived in was, so I thought I'd already lived and died and went to hell. I was not raised in a religious home, and it shows. To this day, I still refer to my home town as Hell even though I'm a devoted Methodist believer.

When I was little, my friends and I thought clouds were make out of marshmellow, so we would throw sticks in the sky to see if they would hit the clouds so we could eat some. Once, my friend threw a stick up and it didn't come down. From then on we thought "God" was angry at us because we were throwing sticks at "him".
Alia
When I was little my dad told me Jesus lived in the church. I used to go to church and look for him, I used to think he would be walking around.
