Having been to a school with a very religious headmaster who had once used some kind of Christian metaphor when explaining the digestive system, I believed that inside us was a furnace, and all the food we ate was consumed by fire.
A childhood belief about general

others believed things like this
- I used to wonder why the oven didn't set food on fire!— danielle
- I thought a Prime Minister was some kind of religious leader, due to the "Minister" part— Darth Carrietta
- When I was a child my Grandma told me if I threw food on the fire I was feeding the devil— Anthony P.
- I used to think that when it rained, god was crying.
I'm not religious but i believed it.— Sally - I used to believe that the heat from the furnace came from hell, and that it was a straight drop there.Anon
- I used to believe that my school teachers lived inside the school and my school bus driver lived on the bus. Anon
