I loved watching the cartoon Casper the Friendly Ghost and wondered why the Holy Ghost never got his own show.

When I was little my friend and I made a plan to take over the world. Back then we believed that God and Jesus ruled the world, and they lived in a house on a cloud. The plan was to fly up and tip the cloud over so God and Jesus would fall out, and then we could take over the cloud house and have koolaid and pool parties.

When I was young I hated wearing shoes, my mom used to tell us if we went to bed with our feet dirty the devil will come tickle our feet. One night I woke up yelling and screaming cause I didn't wash my feet and fell asleep. Thought the devil was coming but then my mother told me the truth since it just the dog licking my feet.

Clean feet!

I used to believe Jesus cleaned my room.

Angelina

I used to believe Jesus looked like The statue of Lincoln. I was 3 or 4 when my family went to DC. The statue of Lincoln was the biggest person I had ever seen and it reminded me of the bible story of children sitting at Jesus' feet. I had that picture in my head for years.

When I was 7 years old, the nun in religious instructions asked the class who lived in the garden of Eden? So I proudly raised my hand and said Adam Beneve. She thought I said Adam and Eve. So she said "Right!" Then she told the story of Adam and Eve and I learned that it wasn't a man named Adam Beneve.

Annie

When I was little, I was positive God looked like Mister Rogers. So whenever I prayed, I had to picture Mister Rogers in my mind or else my prayer would never get to God.

Laura

I really wasn't brought up very religious. I knew who God was but for some reason was confused on who Jesus was. I thought Jesus sounded like a girl's name.. so I thought Jesus was God's wife. I was a strange kid...

Sarah

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.

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 little (although this continued to a surprisingly late age) i believed that jesus was born on dec. 25 and died on easter OF THE SAME YEAR. it made sense because no one ever talks about when jesus was a little boy. but i could never work out how he grew up so fast, but i figured it must be because he was magic and stuff.

When I was a kid in the 80's, I watched a lot of "Family Ties" and the "Back to the Future" series.

Like any being that I was not able to physically see, such as a character in a story, I used my imagination to create an image of what I though they looked like.

I envisioned (and believed) God as having the face of Michael J. Fox.

Andrew

I use to believe until theology class in 10th grade, that Pontious pilot was a mountain. And Jesus Crist was crucified in the shadow of this huge mountain. You know, he was crucified under pontious pilot.

I used to believe that it was unfair that i had to go to church (Jesus's House) and that he was mean because he never came to vist me at my house!

Melainie -Darwin,NT

I used to blieve that the orange center of marshammow easter eggs was Jesus...

Hayley

I used to believe that if you picked up the phone and dialed 999-9999, you would reach Satan. I think I heard this from my brother, joking at some point. When I finally got the nerve to try calling, it didn't connect to anyone, so I assumed God had cut off his phone.

My Grandmother used to tell me that the angels were watching me fom "up there" and she would point upwards. For years I thought there were tiny angels living on the curtain rods.

H.B.

I used to believe that god was the newscaster.

When I was eight years old, my Vacation Bible School teacher talked about "giving your life to Jesus": as literal-minded as I was, the idea that Jesus wanted me to commit suicide for him scared the pants off me!

Ingeborg S. Nordén

When I was four and somewhat Christian (I didn't know anything except the basics), I thought that there were three equal and holy people; God, Jesus and Santa Claus.

We pray to God, Jesus and the Holy Santa Claus
