My parents told me during thunderstorms that all the noise was Fred Flintstone bowling. It always made me feel better!

My older sister told me during a rainstorm that thunder was just the angels blowing their noses.

I'm 40, and to this day I've never been afraid of thunder.

I remember being very young, and I was woken by the thunder and lightning outside. It was so loud and scary! I thought lightning was God's temper. The louder the thunder, and the brighter the lightning, the closer he was to getting me. I would inch to the edge of the bed where I couldn't see out my window (and assumed since I couldn't see outside, "he" couldn't see in) and lay there for 15 minutes waiting for the thunder and lightning to calm down before going back to bed.

My friend once told me that thunder was the angels in heaven bowling ang lightning happened when they got a strike. I believed her for years.

I used to believe that when thunder and lightning struck it was dead people in heaven going ten pin bowling. When my grandfather died (he was an obsessed bowler) I used to think it was him.

I believed until I was 11 that thunder was God rearanging his furniture up in heaven.

When I was little my older brother convinced me that thunder was caused by clouds banging together. Makes sense even now.

I used to believe that thunder was when the sky belched really loundly. During storms, I thought the sky was being needlessly rude, and sometimes was so offended that I would run to mom to "tell on" the sky. She thought it was funny.

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 used to believe that thunder was cause by Mother Nature bowling, and lightning was because she had a strike. I convinced all my friends too.

When I was small I thought that when it rained it was because God was crying because someone had dyed. Whenever it rained I thought to myself 'I wonder who dyed today'. How stupid was I!

My dad used to tell me that thunder was God rearraning His furniture and lightning was a little kid in Heaven flicking the lightswitch on and off.

While watching a thunderstorm with my 4 yr old son, we spotted some lighting in the clouds..after some time of watching this spot light up he said "That car up there in the clouds is turning its lights on." LOL! I'm sure you can imagine how absolutly adorable that sounded....

Watching the cars in the sky

I used to believe that lightning at night was God's way of telling me to go to sleep.

My mom told me that thunder was when God was very angry at something. So I used to believe that until a science class helped me get over that :)
