when i was little i had all these beliefs about god such as: when it was raining, god was crying and so forth. The best one i came up with when i was little was that when it was foggy outside god was smoking. It made perfect sense to me at the time because both of my parents smoke

Ok when i was small everyone would always tell me that god was everywhere and everything you would touch was god. So every step I would take i would always repeat ''sorry god'' because I though that I was stepping on him. It even came to a point that I would ask god permission before moving around.

I used to believe that Joseph of the OT and of the NT were the SAME dude.


Man, talk about being OLD!

As a child i got very upset after being told the story of jesus' death at nursery by one of the teachers (what kind of teacher does that?!) being only 3 years old i didn't understand that he was killed as an adult and thought that someone had gone to the cattle shed and killed baby jesus by hitting him on the head with a cross.

I thought that after the resurrection Jesus became the Holy Ghost.

I used to believe that God ran the world by computers. He would sit in a room full of computers around him, kind of like a space center, and each human being had it's own computer through which he could control our actions, thoughts, etc...

Kylie M.

When I was young I was convinced that Henry Kelly, an Irish television presenter and radio DJ, was God. Or at least, God look an awful lot like him.

Bruno

When I was a little girl I used to think that every time it rained it was because the angels were sad and crying.

Julia Estévez

This may be an urban myth my Dad foistered upon me...but he swears that when he was a kid he loved the bible stories and hymns because of all the animals. You know, the story about Jonah and the Fish...the Talking Donkey...and especially that one hymn about "Gladly, The Cross-Eyed Bear"...

Kevin

When I was little, I used to believe that Jesus died every year for 3 days from Good Friday until Easter. I was always scared for those 3 days being without Jesus, but always felt better on Easter, because then I knew he would rise again.

Kim

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

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.

Matt

when i was little and my mom made me go to church, i believed that the minister (who seemed really tall to me and had red hair) was God. still to this day when i think of God i see a tall man with red hair.

sue

I used to believe that God was called Peter. People used to say 'Thanks be to God' but what I heard was 'Thanks Peter God'

Mandy

When my sister was really little, she asked her teacher where God lived, and her teacher told her that God was in everything. So on the way home she opened the first thing she came across to catch a glimpse of God (it happened to be a dandelion stalk) and upon seeing the white stuff inside, thought that it was God.

J

When I was little I was looking at a painting of heaven and hell and the depiction of Satan really creeped me out. My grandma told me to watch out for the devil because he has blonde hair, blue eyes, and he wears blue jeans. I wouldn't go near blonde-haired men for weeks!

Anon

I used to watch power rangers, and in the early episodes, there was a floating head in a tube that lead the power rangers. Well, I have no idea how I thought this, but I believed that was EXACTLY what God looked like. I was an odd child...

Anon

One day I met a really old lady who had white hair, was wearing white clothes and was praying. I believed, and in fact announced to my mother, that I had met God that day.

Sarah

When I was little I had these ideas of what God and Jesus looked like in my head. I saw God as being Lex Luthor from the Superman show from the nineties, and Jesus was this giant toddler with a really big head who went around crashing cars just for the fun of it. Now that I think of it, I was quite a cynical child, wasn't I?

Katie

When I was little I used to play with Fisher Price little people, I used to think God was a giant kid, and we were his little people.
