I used to belive that the reason God and the devil were enemies was because when they were youger they were best - friends. they were playing catch and the ball went over the fence and God was to short to get it and the devil wouldn't get it and they starting hating each - other. But the devil was green and God looked like sleepy from the 7 dwarfs.

I used to believe that God was a rather large obeise man in a turban, who sat cross-legged all day, directing the angels to do His bidding.

For the longest time, I believed that if my mom wasn't my mom, that Mary (the mother of Jesus) would have been my mom, and she would have been 'Angela, the mother of Jesus'.

I used to believe that the weather was a way of telling us how God was feeling. God was sad when it rained and God was angry when there was thunder and lightning. When it was a beautiful day, God was happy. =)

when i was little i used to believe that the devil would come from under my floor boards and take me to hell with him. so i slept in the middle of the bed so it would be harder for him to reach me.

When I was really young, I saw the film "The Little Mermaid" for the first time. For whatever reason, I associated the priest in the wedding scene with God. From then on, I imagined that God looked like the priest. Even in my adult life, I think of any faceless major deity as the priest from "The Little Mermaid."

Rikki

My grandfather was a pastor and when I was 2 I thought he was God because he was always up at the front and had a booming voice.

When i was younger I thought that the world was seriously like a sno-globe....I was so scared that God might accidently drop it and we would all float around in the emptiness of space.. and die...i was so creeped out!

Sweet Spirit

It's pretty common I guess. :)
I used to think my mom was working with god, because she always knew when I lied and would say : God will be sad. So I assumed she and god hung out together or something. It was pretty scary, the two most powerful bosses ever.

When I was six or seven, I thought that characters from Greek mythology really existed! This was because I saw a cloud shaped like Cupid and thought it was him in disguise. Also, I imagined Atlanta in a tracksuit and glasses and Aphrodite in a modern ball dress for some reason. I also thought Psyche was a little kid for some reason.

When I was little I believed that if you
did something naughty "God" would punish
me as he was always watching. So I lived like "he" was always behind me and
knew even my thoughts. This was from my
mother and it took a long time for me to realize this is not true.

I WAS PLAYING OUTDOORS ON A VERY HOT DAY. I WAS ABOUT 5. I WENT IN AND TOLD MY MOM THAT I WISHED JESUS WOULD TURN THE SUN DOWN. I PICTURED HIM SITTING IN A SMALL ROOM,BEHIND A DESK, WITH A LARGE DIAL BEHIND HIM,THAT WORKED THE SUN.

Once when I was little I heard my dad say "God dammit!" So I thought Dammit was a person and he and God were friends.

Tory

i used to believe that god was the king in sleping beuty

stupid:D

I used to throw handfuls of sand into the air and then watch it drifting down while yelling, "The SAND GOD! The SAND GOD!" I believed the Sand god was very pleased with my offerings.

Once when I was little, my mother, who was raised religiously, was driving with me in the backseat. It was sunset, and she had just recently decided to try and implement religion into my life. So she's driving and she says, "Wow, look at the beautful sky God has given us to enjoy today". Without skipping a beat, I replied "Did she paint it with crayons?"
To this day, I believe God must be a woman, and that experience was also the end of organized religion in my life.

Agnostic

I used to think that Cain and Able were brother and sister (with Able being the girl).

Duh

Whenever my cousin and I were very young, she would be afraid to walk across the floor after getting in trouble because she thought Satan would reach up and burn her.
