When I was little I was told in church that the Devil controls the water, so we could never go swimming in our backyard on Sundays. For some reason it was fine the rest of the week!

One of the churches I attended as a boy had a large mirror on the ceiling above where the pastor would preach and sermonize the congregation. I thought the reflection was God watching and giving instructions to the pastor, it really put the fear of God in me because he had one of those "fire and brimstone" styles of preaching. To this day I hate the "fire and brimstone" style of preaching and if I hear it on the radio or the TV I immediately turn it off.

I asked my father what holy water was. He told me it was the priest's bathwater.

I hated church. My uncle had me (and my cousins) to believe that, on Easter day, the Easter Bunnies leave chocolate and sweets all over the garden, just for us kids, if we were good and if we went to church regularly, and especially on Easter day. If we didn't go to church on that day, they would be so scared of being seen flying around (yes, they flew high in the sky on that day) they would left nothing for us.
After my parents told me Santa was dead, to spare me the pain that he never existed, I had my doubts about the existence of flying bunnies leaving chocolate presents in our garden.
I eventually found the chocolates, carefuly hidden in a wardrobe, and put them all under my bed. Then I watched the adults looking for those chocolates the rest of that day. My brother and my cousins never forgave me.

I thought the bible was an old bloke that worked at Ebenezer Methodist Church (like the caretaker), who kept saying wise things that were then relayed to us by our Sunday School teachers.

At sunday school we were shown an illustrated children's book about "the Prodigal son". He was wearing a "dress" so for a while I thought that "prodigal" meant transvestite and that was why he had to leave his family, but in the end they decided to accept him. Ridiculous!
