When I was about 5, I would go to Sunday school to learn about God. After one class, my Mom told me to go say thank you to the teachers (a man and a woman). So I walked up to the man and said "Thank you Jesus." It got a big laugh from everyone and still does today.

I used to think that God didnt have ankle because he didn't need them as he could float.

I used to believe that everything big was something God owned. So if I saw a huge pair of sunglasses (those ridiculous plastic neon ones) or an enormous footprint-shaped stain on my mattress base, I would say "Look mummy! That's God's footprint" It's still a bit of an amusing game to play I guess.

As a child, I felt it necessary to excuse myself to God after passing wind alone, since, as I was told solemnly by parents and pastor, He is everywhere.

At mass, when the congregation said -
"Thanks Be to God" I thught they were actually saying -
"Thanks Peter God"
My father's name is Peter. It bothers me that I never really questioned why everyone thought My dad was God.

Note the following qoutation based on me seeing pictures of angels on clouds "...God could not live on the clouds because a plane would have hit him by now..."

I used to believe that God was left handed, like me. Well, he had to be, or how would he have made the world, because Jesus "sitteth on God's right hand"?

I was brought up a catholic.
I believed that jesus was born in december then crucified in April/May (Easter) Wow I thought he'd done a lot in just 4 months.

i was an Indian on an assignement to Minnesota - residing at Ramsgate Apartments. when another friend joined me, i told her that this place was named after the Lord Ram, an Hero in the Indian Epic Ramayanam. She beleived it for quiet a while and conveyed the same to her parents back home.

When I was little I used to go to church, after listening them going on about the devil one day I begna to wonder where he was. I imagained that he was in some foreign country somewhere (!) I asked my Dad and he said he didn't know, and that he could be anywhere! This freaked my out I was only little, I made me a bit paranoid, I thought I was going to bump into a demon with a forked tail in the street.
Perhaps this has something to do with me not being a christian anymore...?
Mee!
You know how the sun is shining on one part of the world and that it's night on the other side? I believed that God always watched the side of the world where it was daytime. There was no need to watch the part of the world where it was night, because everyone was sound asleep in their homes. :-)

I used to believe that Jesus was crucified in Pantasaph near my home town in North Wales. I was always fascinated by his ability to talk in tongues as that was obviously why no-one referred directly to him speaking Welsh.

When I was a child, about 6 years old, I went to Sunday School each and every Sunday. It was Christmastime and that meant recreating the manger scene of Christ's birth. The teacher went around the classroom, recruiting volunteers for parts in the scene. "Who would like to be a shepard?" I immediately raised my hand. "OK, c'mon up...." I ran up with joy and took my place on the scene. I went up and laid down on the floor and curled up. The class, including the teacher, roared. I thought I was playing the part of a shepard ~ a German Shepard dog!

When I was a kid, because God lived in Heaven, I thougth all the places in the Bible were in Heaven too, imagine my astonishment when watching the TV one day and there was film footage from Bethlehem, I was stunned and couldn't figure out how they'd gotten the cameras into Heaven, much less why everyone in Heaven [actually the good people of Bethlehem] were wearing regular clothes like "real" people ...

When I was little, I asked my mom what God was. "He's a being," my mom said. I thought she said, "He's a bean." So for years I pictured this little bean sitting up there on the clouds, looking down on his creation.
Up until I was about 10, I had this strange image of God. He was about 60, wearing a white robe with a rope belt, and had a cane; but the strange part was he looked exactly like Mr. Rogers.

When I was about four or five, there was a swing at my pre-school that had a small root sticking out from the dirt under it. It had three prongs, and did look a little like a hand. We all thought it was the devil's hand sticking up out of H-E-double hockey sticks.

When I first started school I thought that Jesus was a tortoise. Because every morning before the Lords Prayer, the Headmistress would ask us to say the "Prayer that Jesus taught us".

That God was always watching you, and if you were naughty he would kill you

When I was young I was told that Jesus was 'the light of the world', so I thought that before Jesus was born there was no sun and it was always dark so everyone had to walk around with candles.
