One time while I was in church, I saw the priest go over to the deacon. He made the sign of the cross, and then the deacon did the same thing, then the priest...blessed the deacon, I guess (where he takes his hand and just kinda...moves it in the shape of a cross). Well, I thought it was a secret handshake.
A childhood belief about church

others believed things like this
- when I saw a sign with a deer on it I always thought deer had to cross the street by it. like a cross walk— only me
- I used to think that the priest at church was JESUS.
He had a beard.... it made sense— Joe B - I used to think my priest was a bit foolish for never having noticed that Dog is God written backwards— anticap
- I used to believe that Madonna's Papa don't preach was pop-a-long priest— Mark "lyric master" Rowbowtohme
- I used to believe that the priest was God because everytime a child cried, he wouldn't be talking.Anon
- I asked my father what holy water was. He told me it was the priest's bathwater. — Gwen
