I was raised Catholic, and when I was very small, the Funeral Mass was very confusing. I was just getting to the age when I could understand what the priest was saying, and I came to the conclusion that the people receiving communion were actually eating the dead person. The really scarey thing is that I don't remember the idea bothering me!
A childhood belief about people

others believed things like this
- I used to believe that a funeral organist was the person who collected the body parts of the deadAnon
- I am Catholic. I used to believe that the Father presenting the Mass was in fact God himself.— Lindsey
- I used to think that at funeral homes, dead bodies were propped up on the furniture, just hanging out!— pam
- i used to believe that when i was in funeral the person in the casket was just asleep for a while— Edgar
- when i was little i asked what time midnight mass started.
i honestly had no idea.— what time?? - I used to think being engaged meant being in jail. I have no idea how I came to that conclusion.— CNB
