I was told as a child that thunder is caused by angels shoving furniture down the stairs, rain was caused by God taking a shower and lighting was caused by the rainwater running into God's electricity supply causing it to blow up. I forget what terminology I used though. Oh well.

I used to believe that if u stuck ur middle finger up, god would make a list of ppl to shoot lightning bolts at when a thunderstorn comes. So when there was a thunderstorm I would go to my mom and make her hide me so god wouldnt find me so i would get hit by the lightning.

When my husband was a little boy, his mum used to tell him that thunder was just God moving the furniture about. Aww!

Like a few others here, I reasoned that thunder must be the clouds, which move so fast during a storm, running into each other. And the lightning? Sparks from the collisions, of course.

I also used to think that trees caused wind by moving their branches. I figured they all must have to agree to do it at the same time to make a strong wind.

when i was little and it use to storm my brother use to tell me it was the thunder monster. and now im still a bit frightened of thunder and lightning...but its funny my brother is too! hehe

Stephanie

I used to think lightning was when God was rubbing his feet on the clouds wearing wool socks. I always imagined him giggling as he shocked all us poor humans... As I've said in other entries of mine... I'm an odd, odd child...

Robyn

I loved dinosaurs very young and I thought perhaps thunder was really dinosaurs coming out of hiding for a while.

I used to be scared of thunder and lightning as a kid, and so I made up a story involving God and his angels, to this day, I still believe, even though I now don't beleive in God.

When its thunder, God's passing wind. When its raining, the angels are weeing, and when it's lightning, God's annoyed with everyone...

I remember the nieghbors telling me during a thunder storm that the noise was bombs & since they had a fence around there yard they would'nt get bombed. I went home & that night the storm got closer & closer , so i ran in my parents room & was hiding under the bed crying.

Tina

I used to believe that thunder was god playing the drums and lightning was when a lightbulb in gods house burnt out, and it would flash. Then when I got a little oler, I thought that thunder was clouds banging together.

Bella

I used to believe when it thundered that god was moving his furniture around.

I used to believe that if you were on the computer or wacthing tv when there was thunder and lightning,lightning would zap you and it would come out of your tv or computer and when there was thunder and lightning i was scared

My mother told us that God was rolling great barrels of water toward the devil! It wasn;t hard to imagine this happening during the thunderstorms in northern Australia. I imagined this happened just on top of the thick grey clouds and wondered why it took so long for God to finally aim right and hit the devil

When I was about 2 or something, I thought that God had this huge pet dog up in heaven. So I ended up thinking that thunder happened whenever the dog was running away from God and the rain was the dog's pee. ^_^;
