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 Jesus was crucified every year and that it was something you could go see - like a festival.

Laci

I used to believe the saying "thanks be to God" went "thanks, Peter God" - as if Peter was his first name :-)

I was petrified of the whole "Jesus is watching you" thing. Really didn't like the idea of him watching me do a wee or poo. So I, for many years, put the toilet seat on my back when I went to the toilet!!!?

Strange Girl

When at a restaurant once my mom told me that the owner of the place was our "host". Now when in church we sang a hymn with the line "Praise Him above ye heavenly host". So I got the idea that the Heavenly Host was a kind of divine restaurateur who was an important person but outranked by God. Questions like where he lived, how he fit into Christian doctrine, and what kind of food he served didn't occur to me.

when i was little i believed that the job as the pope was passed on to his first born son... like in the royal family... until i found out that popes didn't have kids

I used to believe that when you could see the well-defined rays of sunlight peeking down to the ground through a hole in a cloud that God was speaking directly to the person in the line of that sun ray. And that maybe that person didn't even realize it was happening, because you could only ever see it shining someplace far off, you can't see when it's shining on you that way. I think I still believe this a little bit.

When I was about four, I went to Sunday School every week. Like most children, had heard the stories of "Baby Jesus" and "Baby Moses". I used to get them confused (almost like they were the same person) because they were both called "Baby." And I always said "Baby Moses" instead of "Baby Jesus" because I liked the way it sounded better!

I'm from Louisiana (Yeah, I know, that says alot). There is a small town nearby called Rayne. Well, until I was about ten, I believed that was where God and Jesus lived, because of the line from Church that says "He lives in "rain" with you, forever and ever".

I used to believe that God sat on top of clouds. You couldn't see him if you were directly beneath a cloud, but if you ran to the end of a field you could view the cloud from an angle and maybe get a glimpse of him.

I used to believe that God was a switchboard operator complete with little headset since that was the only way I thought he could answer all the prayers. I pictured him sitting up there saying "all circuits busy, please hold" to everyone who was praying. I must have had a special line because I was never put on hold!

Jen

I used to believe Mary and Joseph were terrible parents... After all, they left the baby Jesus in the desert for forty days and forty nights with Satan.

Sherry

I used to believe that Jesus was born again every Christmas, lived out all the Bible said he did within a couple of months, and was killed again every Easter

Bobthefunkyfish

I used to picture God as a giant transparent poodle after seeing "All dogs go to heaven".

Anon

When I was younger I belived that the man who lived across the street from me was Jesus. He had a beard and a mustash and long brown hair and he looked like Jesus. He also drove the garbage truck around town.. So aparently Jesus has came back, and instead of starting the apacolipse he decided to screw it and become a garbage man in Jersey

Jen

I used to think that god looked like the Mattress giant... Or Mr. Clean. I could'nt decide because Mr. Clean and the mattress giant looked exactly alike.

Growing up in a very Christian household, I was always told that "God is everywhere". I took this very literally (apparently I was a little pantheist), and I remember staring in wide-eyed shock. "God is everywhere? Even in my shoe?" For the longest time, I thought that every time I put my shoes on, I was stepping on God.

When i was about 6or7 I thought at noon when the sunset was out, the clouds would turn a red or pinkish colour, and id get all of my stuff (barbie,tea cup set,ect.)and run as fast as i can inside because i convinced myself the devil would steal me!!!lol even my 10 yr. friend belived me?? i figured red meant blood and i thought the devil sucked your blood??? yeah weird huh? so id run to the door,slam it and lock both doors...lol hehe...... i was a weird one..lmao[3

I thought that garden where Jesus went to pray before the Romans came and got him to be crucified was called the Garden of Yosemite. I was surprised that Jesus could transport himself to North America just to pray. Then I found out it was the Garden of Gethsemane. Good thing I never brought the subject up out loud!

i used to believe that if i would give the finger to the ground i would make the devil grow. because hell is in the earth you know? and if i gave him the "pointer" holding my pointer finger at him i would make him shrink. and vise versa for god. i would do it alot just to do it and then appoligize to god for making him so small.
