I used to believe that if you went high enough you could walk on the clouds and there would be angels and castles and dead people so you could visit heaven anytime. Of course, I didn't know that you could actually get as high as the clouds in an airplane.

In first grade, a few of my friends and I dug a huge hole in the play structures sand. We were convinced that if we dug down deep enough, we would reach hell. I don't know WHY we wanted to find hell, but we were very discouraged by the third day and eventually gave up. I didn't realize until several years later that hell wasn't exactly reachable from our school...

When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I saw a film with my sister about a guy who died and went up to heaven, where there was a queue to get sprayed with something that erased your memory of the past. In the film, the guy was so upset to have died, he bypassed the queue and got sent straight back to earth, where he was born again as a baby and grew up remembering his previous life. 18 years on he was still tormented by these memories and sought out his 'widow', who still left biscuits by his photo every night, and tried to convince her he was her husband.
The film really bothered me and for a while I struggled with the possibility, upon hearing someone we knew had died, that they were coming back to earth, and worse still, would hold all their memories and try and rejoin their former life.

When I was a kid, before my parents said anything about Heaven and Hell and all that, I used to believe that, after you die, your simply born again, as a baby, then you live your life again. I find this very odd, since before that, I had never even heard about reincarnation, I came up with it on my own.

I'm an athiest, but when I was a kid this is what I used to believe. I was about six and I had a cat named Rosie, and my school bus ran her over. I thought heaven was a place in the stars where there are hotels made out of clouds. I'd used to think there was a cat hotel and Rosie was in room 715.

When I was about 5 or 6, I use to believe that if Hell was hot and all Fire, then Heaven must be cold and all Snow and Ice.

When I was little I used to believe that the rays of sunlight coming between the clouds were how people got to heaven. The ray would rech their grave and thier spirit would float up to heaven.

An older cousin used to tell us that if we call the number 7777777 on the phone at midnight, it will reach hell directly. We can speak to our deceased relatives.

I used to believe that there were different heavens for each nationality.
Chinese heaven was like one of those nightclubs or rollercoasters; you have to be 5ft or under to get in.

When I was little I was helping my dad dig a hole for some fondations we found an old underground bunker. It scared me because I thought we opened Hell
i used to believe thqat the biggest cloud in the sky was heaven... and i thought that when the sun went down, and u could see stars.... they were al the ppl that had died, looking down on us
My parents were fundamentalist Baptist. We were told, as young children, that when you died and went to heaven that your bodies would be like Jesus's.
They MEANT that it would be like his body after the ressurection: healed; float; fly; walk through walls; etc.
BUT to me, it meant that we'd all be floating around heaven naked and we'd all look like Jesus, which was o.k. for the guys but how would the gals handle this and how would we recognize anyone?
When I was at my grandparents one day as a child, my grandmother was watching "It's A Wonderful Life" and I had heard that everytime a bell rings an angel gets its wings. My grandmother had a collection figurines and bells so I grabbed a bell in each hand and shook the bells over and over for minutes until my grandmother finally asked me to stop. But in my head I pictured an endless line of angels waiting and I wanted all of them to get their wings so i just kept ringing.

I used to believe two things:
1. That our lives were being filmed and when we died we got to watch our lives in heaven and be able to hear what any one in our film was thinking.
2. That our life was a baby's dream and when the baby woke up we died.
