I used to watch power rangers, and in the early episodes, there was a floating head in a tube that lead the power rangers. Well, I have no idea how I thought this, but I believed that was EXACTLY what God looked like. I was an odd child...

One day I met a really old lady who had white hair, was wearing white clothes and was praying. I believed, and in fact announced to my mother, that I had met God that day.

I have absolutely no idea where this came from, but I went through a phase where I imagined God to look like the genie from the Disney movie of Aladdin, with Robin William's voice and all.
I was one odd child.

When I was little I had these ideas of what God and Jesus looked like in my head. I saw God as being Lex Luthor from the Superman show from the nineties, and Jesus was this giant toddler with a really big head who went around crashing cars just for the fun of it. Now that I think of it, I was quite a cynical child, wasn't I?

When I was little I used to play with Fisher Price little people, I used to think God was a giant kid, and we were his little people.

When I was a kid, my grandma had a picture of some byzantine mosaic displaying a very austere version of God. The title of the picture was "Pancreatore", that means "The Creator Of All Things" in italian. I used to believe that Pancreatore was a sort of vice-God who worked for Him when God had to punish or scold someone.

I thought, until very recently (I'm 25), that "Hail" in "Hail Mary" was her title, part of her name. Hail in portuguese, my 1st language, sounds like "bird". So I thought that somehow she was represented as a bird, since it was her title.

I went to a Catholic school, and right before Easter in the 4th grade we watched a movie about the crucifixion of Jesus. I was absolutely terrified because when they hammered the nails into his wrists, the kid next to me said "Ohhhh.." and made an "ouch" face. I took that to mean that any time someone hurts the inside of your wrist, you'd die. I guarded my inner wrists nonstop for the next few months.

I also thought that the guy playing Jesus really did die in the movie. That he was such a strong Christian that he thought it was worth giving up his life to show the story of what happened to Jesus. I was awfully uneasy about this, and it seemed morbid that we were watching it in school.

When I was told that 'God is everywhere, on everything and in every corner' I believed that if the light was right you would see the face of a bearded man repeated everywhere on every wall, bit of furniture, tree, car, the dog, and so on, a bit like looking through a kaleidascope...

However, I also had the very same belief about Father Christmas, and wondered for a long time if they were the same man.

When I was little, I thought the nerve twitching you would get in bed at night was your guardian angel telling you to move over... so I always did.

Randy

When i was younger, my father told me that i cant see God, but he lived in my heart. So for almost 10 years afterwords, whenever someone said the word "God", i would picture this angry robot with a pitchfork in my "heart" which looked vaguely like a red cave. to this day, i dont know where i got any of that from. i was kinda weird.

Dan

I thought that after the resurrection Jesus became the Holy Ghost.

When I was young I was convinced that Henry Kelly, an Irish television presenter and radio DJ, was God. Or at least, God look an awful lot like him.

Bruno

We used to sing a song "He's got the whole World in his hands" and I figured that when God closed his hands it was night

When I was little, I thought that every person had a "recipe" and that God spent his mixing up people recipes in a big bowl and sending them down to Earth. And example would be that someone might have 3/4 cup of smartness mixed with a teaspoon of meanness and 3 tablespoons of art talent...etc. in their recipe. I was worried that my recipe wasnt very good and asked my mum if I could have a new one.

Ellie

You know how the sun is shining on one part of the world and that it's night on the other side? I believed that God always watched the side of the world where it was daytime. There was no need to watch the part of the world where it was night, because everyone was sound asleep in their homes. :-)

Shark

I always used to think that god looked like Abe Lincon, like the Lincon Memorial... It just looked so important...

Greg

I use to get confussed because we were told jesus was born at christmas and died at easter, i assumed king herald finally found him.
How he managed to do all that stuff in the bible when he was only a baby was rather clever!

My brother once told me(I was... 5) that angels threw rocks at you if you were bad. He threw rocks at me for the next two years

Randy

When I was little my dad told me Jesus lived in the church. I used to go to church and look for him, I used to think he would be walking around.
