I use to get confussed because we were told jesus was born at christmas and died at easter, i assumed king herald finally found him.
How he managed to do all that stuff in the bible when he was only a baby was rather clever!

I always thought God looked kind of like this really stern man with dark hair. One day I saw a similar looking guy in my CCD (Catholic Sunday School) book next to a question saying to circle the one who was God (they had the guy up in the clouds with the flowing white beard, but I didn't think THAT was him) and I got it wrong.

Another thing: I was about two when I asked my nana where babies came from, and she told me they came from God. Until I actually asked my mother a few years later, I thought babies just kind of dropped out of the sky in little bassinettes and landed on your doorstep. I think I asked my mum why the babies didn't get hurt when they fell out of the sky and that was when she got me the "So That's How I Was Born" book.

i used to believe if you did something like hit a desk on the right side three times, you would have to hit the left side three times or God would punish you. I still feel comfortable doing things evenly like that.

I used to think if i cut myself on purpose God would reward me for my bravery.

I always used to think that god looked like Abe Lincon, like the Lincon Memorial... It just looked so important...

between my mothers latin american easter story and my fathers american version i got very confused. i had this strange idea that a massive baby jesus delivered easter baskets. i just recently figured out how i came up with this theory.

my mum once told me that god was with you even on the toilet. i believed this (my brother too) for a couple of years wen a mums friend corrected me. wat my mum meant to say is that god is everywhere.

in our old house there was a picture of the sacred heart hanging up in the kitchen. when i was young i used to think it was a picture of The Greatest American Hero!
HE HAD A CAPE!!!!..... i was only about 4 or 5 :-(

When I was a kid when it was cloudy you could sometimes see sun rays shooting out of the clouds. I thought God was standing on that cloud cuse thats what it looked like in the pictures in the bible.

I thought that the star that Mary and Joseph followed was called Yonder, as in 'following Yonder star."

This is somewhat embarrassing when I look back on it. When I was about eight years old, my grandma would always buy those newspapers with headlines such as 'Elvis has Alien Child'. As a child, I was fascinated with these type of stories. I happened to read a story saying that scientists had proof the world was going to end on September 1, 1994. One day I wrote in the fog on my bedroom window "God Please Don't Let The World End". Imagine how I felt when September 1st came, I was scared to death!

At school our class of six year-olds were all told to draw a picture of the Nativity to put up on the walls for Christmas. I drew the stable with a lovely light bulb and shade hanging from the ceiling. No one could explain to my satisfaction why there could not be a light bulb hanging over the manger for baby Jesus in case he was scared of the dark. How else would the wise men see where to put the gifts? It went up on the wall and I rode out the ridicule, certain that I was right.

When I was younger, whenever my parents got upset they'd exclaim, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" However, I thought they were saying, "Jesus is marrying Joseph!"

I've since converted to Paganism.

When I was young I always had this one idea of what good looked like in my head, to this day I can still picture it. It wasn't until a year ago when I realized that the picture look exactly like Hagrid from the Harry Potter movies!!!

my friends sister used to think god was a bee

I was raised in a non-religious household, so my ideas about got and religion were pretty sketchy. I knew that OTHER people knew this God guy, and that they talked to him and everything because I had seen people praying and preaching and all. Until I was about 8 I believed that God existed, but he just didn't know about me. Like I was flying under his radar or something. I mean, he hadn't been talking to me like he talked to other people! Every now and then I'd consider sitting down and introducing myself to God, just so he'd know I was there. But then I'd get nervous that he would be mad at me for not introducing myself earlier. So I just kept putting it off...

I used to believe that because God had a son that he must have had a wife and that because Jesus was older now, he was looking for a wife, so i thought that if i was good i could be Jesus' wife.
