My brother once told me(I was... 5) that angels threw rocks at you if you were bad. He threw rocks at me for the next two years

Randy

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.

Josie

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).

Chad

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.

Becky

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.

When I was really young (less than 5 or 6) I always imagined God to be a guy with a helmet on. His helmet looked exactly like the helmet Shredder wears on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I only realized the resemblance a few months ago when they put the show back on the air. Interesting. ;)

Anon

Good looked exactly like George Washington.
I have no idea where I got this.

Leen

When I was younger, I thought God looked like Phil Donahue the talk show host. Except that I thought that God didn't wear glasses and always had on a white tuxedo and white patent leather shoes.

Kelly G.

I used to believe that God lived on top of the clouds. The first time I was in a plane, i spend the entire 4 hour flight scanning the clouds hoping to see him.

Vanessa

There were always made up stories for different weather that went on.

I was told that when it rained, either Jesus was taking a shower way up in heaven, or he asked his Daddy (God) to go hang out with his friends, God said no (cause he's the boss) and Jesus cried.

When there was a storm, God was bowling...thunder was the sound of the ball rolling down the aisle, and each time there was a strike, there was lightening.

When it snowed....God had dandruff...

Vanessa

I used to believe the Christ was born
on Christmas Day and crucified the
following Easter.

William Golding

Someone once told me that 666 is the devil's number and I had this shorts which had 666 on the zipper. So for a long time I was convinced that I am the devil's son.The funny part was that if you held the zipper upwards it looked like 999 but i was convinced that it is 666 so i spend a lot of time praying that I did not want to be the devil's son.

libyh

My kids used to believe that Jesus was born in Sheffield,Yorkshire.I don't know why but I told them he was,I didn't think it was any different to telling them Father Christmas was real,or that dogs could fly if their wings weren't clipped

Anon

I came home from school once, threw my school bag onto the chair and announced, 'well mum, I know God's secret!' ... when pressed I proudly told her; 'He has a beard!'

Jen

When I was little, my mother used to watch Unsolved Mysteries all the time, with the host, Robert Stack. For some reason I got it in my head that God was his twin. Probably because he was so old and venerable and had a scary voice. (The theme music also terrified me.) Now, even to this day, if I have to picture what God looks like, he often looks like Robert Stack.

adsfdsf

i was always hearing mary referred to as the "mother of God." so when they called jesus the "son of God," i thought, "no, He and God are brothers! he's the SON of joseph!"

Kitty

I used to believe that God looked like/was Rolf Harris

Dave

i used to belive the vikings cruseified jesus and that is why everyone hated the sweeds
turns out everybody loves sweeds yay me :)

Anon

I used to believe (when I was young) that a "sun worshipper" was a kind of religion, like what the Aztecs believed. Then I learned it refers to someone who lies out in the sun to get tan.

When I was young for some reason I thought that if I didn't cover my self completely with the blankets at night Jesus would come down and touch whatever part was uncovered and I would die. I'm not sure where that belief came from
