I thought that Critical Mass was when the Pope said, "Okay, everyone. Mass is always important. You guys have really been slacking, though. So this week, it's critical!" Since that meant that more people were going to Mass, there wouldn't be enough parking and people would have to ride their bikes.

I used to believe that monks and nuns married each other and made more Catholics.

I was told from time to time that the Bible says you shouldn't swear, which I took to mean that you shouldn't swear oaths. I thought that pinky-swearing was inherently sinful and dangerous.
I thought the flying buttresses on a cathedral actually enabled it to fly somehow!
I was raised Catholic, and when I was a child, I believed that the reason we sang a song at the end of the mass was so that the priest could escape without our seeing him leave.

I used to believe in Jesus. When I was young I saw his face in the clouds. I didn't know who he was yet but somehow I knew he was Jesus. It's years later now and it's become a memory of a memory that I no longer believe.

The Baptist church I grew up in would often refer to "the church family" -- "the flowers today were provided by the church family," "Saturday's picnic will be hosted by the church family," etc. I thought for the longest time that the church family was the nice Cambodian family we sponsored who always sat in the front pew, and I was impressed by all they were constantly doing to give back to the community. It wasn't till years later that I discovered the "church family" actually meant the congregation as a whole!

I used to believe if a person raised their hands during the worship service at church, God would reach down and bring them up to heaven.

At my Catholic school I was often told that Jesus was always present in the Church. I believed that the actual body of Jesus was kept in the altar. I thought one church kept it for a while then sent it to another church.

As I child my mom would always take my to the catholic church to a confession booth so that god can forgive my sins. At one point of the confession the priest puts his hand before the person confessing and I always wondered why.
When I got out of the booth I asked my older brother why and he thought It would be funny to say, "You are suppose to high five him!"
So for many years I believed that I was suppose to high five the priest. I'm 17 now and I just realized I wasn't suppose to..
When I was younger, whenever I went to church and the congregation all spoke at once during prayer or as a response, I wondered how they all knew what to say.
I then came to the conclusion that they were all robots, including my parents.
However, the robot's theory only existed in church, then everybody was human.

When I was little, my sunday school would tell us God was always watching. I would always insist my mom hold a towel in front of me while I was on the toilet, because I didn't want God to see me pee.

At the end of church service our pastor always said, "Go in peace, serve the lord." To which the congregation would reply in unison, "Thanks be to god."
I always thought it was because we were all glad it was over.

In the town I grew up in there was a festival every year in honor of Saint Anthony. Seeing that my name is Anthony, I always thought that they were celebrating me. Every time I would go ride the rides I thought people were there for me.

When I was little, my dad told me that God was in church with us. Our church guitar player was a guy with a grey beard, so I thought he was God.
Andy
I used to believe that the Sun was one of God's eyes and the Moon was his other eye.

when i was little, I used to think that after church, that people would take the offering plates full of money outside and hold it up and all the money would fly to heaven and God.

When I went to Church when I was little, I used to believe that the vicar was Jesus and I was really scared of him. My Sunday school teacher tried to convince me he wasn't Jesus, and I went, "He'll know you said that."

When I was a kid, I believed that bible school was "beauty school", and called it that all the time.
