Thunder is the sound of God bowling

I USED TO BELIEVE AND STILL DO AND ALSO TELL MY CHILDREN THAT WHEN IT IS THUNDERING OUT, GOD IS BOWLING AND GETTING LOTS OF STRIKES!

My Grama always told me that thunder was just God bowling and the lightning was when he got a strike!

I was terrified of thunderstorms when I was little. I'm still a bit antsy about them today. My parents taught me the story of god and bowling (which apparently many people have heard). But I was also taught if you killed a spider, then it would rain..

I used to believe that thunder was the sound of angels bowling, rain was when they were taking a shower, and lighting was when one of them was shocked.

When I was younger I was afraid when it stormed..so my mom told me that the angels were bowling in heaven. And when it thundered or lighting then one of the angels made a strike!~!

Until I was about 7 I was terribly afraid of thunderstorms. As something to comfort me my mom told me that the angels had time off and they went bowling. When they made a strike there is a huge bang and its thunder. When lighting strikes an angel has one game and hes celebrating. I didnt like that bowling alley, they couldve gone to the one down the road, I would have liked that a lot better............

When I was under the age of 13 I used to belive that thunder was God bowling, and the lighting was him hitting the pins, and he always got them.

I always thought that when there was thunder during a storm, it meant that either God was really mad or he was bowling. I thought that when it was raining that angels were crying.

When I was a little kid, I thought that whenever there was thunder and lightning, that it meant God and His angels were bowling.

Elizabeth

whenever it was lightning out, my dad would tell me that God was bowling up in heaven.

My grandpa used to tell us that the thunder and lightning was the angels bowling in the heavens. Whenever they got a strike, it would lightening. I know now that lightening causes the thunder not the other way around, but I used to think "of course they are good bowlers, they're angels!"

my parents told me a comforting story about thunderstorms when I would get the spooks. They said that was God and the angels bowling up in heaven...when lightning struck, someone got a "strike". LOL!

When i was very young, I use to be afraid of Thunder and Lightning. so to make me calm down, my mom use to tell me that it was God bowling and everytime there was a lightning bult, it would mean He got a strike and when it was raining that meant He was crying because He los! I am 18 years old and I am very disappointed to know that this is not true!
