When I was young, I used to believe that when you died, your spirit crawled out your mouth and ran away to an unborn baby.

When I was young i tought that when anyone died they would have to choose an animal to come back to earth as. I wanted to be a butterfly but then thought they don't live long enough

I was told that every good person went to heaven. And one day I was watching the History Channel and I realized how many people there must be in heaven. And I told my mom I should kill myself now so I could get a half way decent spot. So I believed that there'd be no more room left for me up there.

I used to think hell was directly under the asphalt of the street. When we lost a baseball in a hole I was afraid for the grownup who stuck his hand down there to get it.

My mommy told me that in Heaven all you eat is honey buns and milk. Let me tell you, I couldn't wait to go to Heaven.

when my mum told me about god she said that he lived up in the sky and looked after all th dead people. so i always imagined the clouds with all these dead people lying around with one man taking care of them all. weird.

When I was little my grandmother told me that heaven was what ever you wanted it to be. At that time I used to think it would be great if it was nothing but a big carnival where you didn't have to pay for any rides and could eat anything you wanted to eat (without getting sick of course). As I grew older my visions of what I thought it would be neat to have as heaven changed, I even thought about it after I learned about religion at times...kind of a "what if" thing.

whenever i got yelled at for doing something i hadn't done, and my parents didn't believe me, i thought they would be sorry when they got to heaven and found out the truth. i thought you would review your entire life in some form before going on your way. i think some teacher planted that idea in my brain.

I used to think (and kind of still do) that when you die, you fly up an elevator to Heaven (floor 100) and you would be led to a room with computers. There you could scroll down until you found the form of life you liked. Then you would be that, and start over. (You couldn't be a thing more than once) And when you have been everything, you grow wings and go to either Heaven or Hell, where you meet eternal happiness (I have pictured people sitting on chairs perched on clouds reading newspapers and drinking coffee) or torture (bowling with your head)

When i was younger, i was confused about this whole heaven thing.
I asked my mom and she said, when you get to heaven you can have anything you want, whenever you want!
So i pictured myself as..i dont know
Picture someone on an island under a tiki roof thing with servants fanning you with leaves and another servant coming up with a silver platter with a turkey on top.
Thats what i thought heaven was.

I used to believe when people are put in their graves after death that they either went to heaven or hell. If they went to hell then the devil would pull a cord from under the grave and they would just fall straight down to hell into a fire pit.

I used to belive that when you died, before you could go wherever it was you were going to, you had to read a huge book listing all the wrong things you ever did.

I used to believe that when you died, you immediately became a ghost. good people went to live with God in heaven, + he gave them wings as a reward, so that's where angels came from. Devils were bad people who were given horns + pointy tails so they looked like Satan. if you weren't especially one way or the other, you would be allowed to choose whether to become a ghost, a zombie, or a vampire.
I did wonder why someone eeeeevil enough to want to go round sucking people's blood didn't go straight to Hell, but... well, God moves in mysterious ways.
I also thought that lava comming out of volcanoes was hot because Hell was down there...

Nin

I used to believe that when someone dies they becomae a cloud and choose a person they want to be a gaurdian angel to...and thenthey watch over that person and float around the sky over them.

Valerie

I used to beleive when you died, based on a greek myth I heard when I was younger, you were brought back as something depending on what you were like.A bad person could have been brought back as an nt or a left testicle [heh] an average joe could be maybe a bug or a dog or something like that, and a very good guy like a preist could come back as another human with all their former memories. If they came back as a person 3 times, they would be sent straight to heaven, the VIP Section.
