Because I was told that God was everywhere and watches you all the time, I felt uncomfortable going to the washroom. Sometimes I’d even say out loud, “Don’t look at me now!”

my sister told me that angels were always watching me, which is supposed to be comforting, but i was terrified. i had to sleep in my parents' room because i thought they were all staring at me through my bedroom windows.

little kids are stupid.

when i was a kid, a thought that when you knock on the floor 3 times, that the devil will come out, so I was scared when bouncing things would fall down

i thought that Mary was bald, because I saw her in the painting with a long veil on her head thinking it would cover her bald head :s

I used to believe that there was an invisible, intangible creature in the sky that could read my mind and would burn me forever if I displeased him.

When I fiirst heard about Pontious Pilate. I thought his last name was spelled "pilot". This was also compounded by the fact that this was at a time when I had not yet learned about the Wright Brothers in school and how the airplane was not invented until around the 1920's.
This made me think that Pontious was some guy that flew an airplane.

After watching the movie " The Exorcist", I thought that the devil could come through the Television and try to get me. I slept with the bible for a week!!

I used to believe that religious figures like Jesus, Mary, and other saints would enter my room through the wall opposite my bed in a firery light...if I slept with the light on they couldn't though because the fire could not be seen...my parents electric bill was extra expensive that year :}

I always heard people say that "God is inside you all the time". So when my tummy growled and made a that springy noise, I used to think it was God on a pogo-stick.

If you know the Sims games, I used to think that God was playing and we were all just Sims.

If you don't, it's a computer game where you make people and control them.

I used to think Nuns never had to pee...there were no bathrooms for "Nuns" and "Priests." We found a private teacher restroom one day in 8th grade when we helped to put away supplies-mystery solved!

When I was younger, I always used to believe that Monks would marry Nuns, and that NO ONE ELSE could do so. This also supplied me with a reason as to why they dressed so funny. Little did I know that to marry was a big no-no for these religious people.

The Adam and Eve story confused me a bit. I was pretty sure that if we all came from the same two people then we were inbred.

when i was like 5 my friend (also 5) and i went to childcare. on the hill of the playground there was a red weed,we thought it was the devil's hand trying to grab us!

Once when I was probably about 3 or 4, I was at daycare where my older sister and her friend happened to mention God. I asked who God was and they told me all about a big man in the sky who created everything. For some reason, I thought of one of the Bananas in Pajamas wearing an angel costume in the sky with a glittery wand- I have no idea why! It took me years to stop picturing God as B1!!

Hail B1

I believed that God looked down on us from a Jumbo teluscope

I used to belive the earth was just a giant Doll House that God had he would move us all around I belived this till I was 7 and started to pay attention in church.
