When I was young my parents always told me that when you died you had beautiful white wings and could fly. They were horrified when I told them that I wanted to die!!
...Don't worry, I'm still here.

When I was a child, I used to believe that if I died as a child, I might be turned into one of those Cupid-like, naked or diapered, sexless cherub children. Teenage and adult angels (I used to think people who died became angels) got robes, but cherubic children had to be naked or diapered for eternity. Heaven was beautiful but scary/humiliating.
I'm not sure if I believed the diapers were needed (as they are in babyhood).

For some reason I have yet to figure out, when I was a kid I decided that a persons "soul" looked like a cane and it was dead centre in the middle of our bodies and that when we died it would come out our mouth and float up to the sky. I believed that when it got to heaven it would morph into your ideal body (like it would be your body.. but no health problems or sickness, and it would look like your body would have if you were in peak condition..)

I actually believed this into my early teens....

Floating Canes

I believed that heaven was down the toilet (because fish going to heaven were flushed). On valentines day I flushed a valentine made of a napkin down the toilet. One the day-care provider caught me singing into the toilet.

As a preschooler I used to believe that if we went to heaven when we died, we lived in heaven before we were born. I went around telling my friends that I went around heaven saying good-bye to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus before I was born and telling them I would see them later when I died.

When I was younger my mom told me that when you died you would go to heaven and there would be gold and jewels everywhere, so me thinking heaven was just a place in the clouds I decided that when I died(at the time I was kinda hoping I was young and not old when I died)I would just throw off a whole bunch of jewels and expensives things then jump down myself because I thought I would be alive again... I was a greedy little child

When I was younger, I used to believe that heaven was a very long bench. So one day I asked my mom,"when you die, would you save a seat for me"?

Whe I was around 6 years old our teacher explained to us the orgin of Good Friday on the week that it was occuring. I took the story very literally and got it into my head that every year on Good Friday the world would end and start all over again. I was a shy kid and too afraid to ask any questions so I just sat there completely freaked out waiting for the world to end.

My grandma died when i was 4 years old. My mom said i could always pray to her. So just to be clever and smarter i wrote her a postcard and the address was- Grandma, Cloud 1, Heaven

Remember the Chao from Sonic Adventure? I used to think that your soul looked like these Chao, and when you died you would go to a place that looked kinda like Mystic Ruins! I used to play a lot of Sonic Adventure ^_^

Chao Master of Team Chaotix!

i used to think that when you flew in an airplane you would cut through heaven...so when i got off i'd turn around and check the door for any hand prints.

When I was a little boy I used to believe that heaven was like a huge retirement center, with ping pong, dance classes, and bad cafeteria food. When I went on a plane ride I was saddened when I didn't see anything.

When I was about 7 y.o. I used to think that I was not really alive but I had died and my life was just a video in real play to show God what I had done with my life.

In church school we were always taught that heaven was in the sky.

My friend and I spent many a day looking out the window of our bus and trying to figure out which cloud was big enough to hold heaven.

I once asked my CCD teacher if eternal bliss in Heaven would get boring after a while.

Some Dude With A Name

when i first heard about life after death, i was afraid to die of old age, because i did not want to end up in heaven as an old, wrinkled, ugly lady

When I was 5 I read a book about mummies and my sister told me that live people were made into mummies and then they had to live like that forever. I think we both misunderstood the book a little.

Don't ask please

When I was little I used to believe that the Sunrays that touched the ground was God bringing someone up to Heaven from the grave.

When I was about 7 or 8, I believed heaven was up in the clouds (the ones with bright sunlight behind) and when visible rays shot down God was taking someone into heaven. I would always wonder who he was taking up when i saw them.
