I used to believe…

A baby-sitter once told me that "if your heart is good, you go to heaven; but if your heart is bad, you go to 'the dungeons of hell.'" I cried, because I thought this meant that your heart had its own character, and if it wasn't the same as yours, tough (or good) luck. (She assured me that my heart was good.)

I was told that your soul was "in your heart," which, as a child, I of course took literally. I was also told that it was this that went to heaven when you died. If this thing was not me, what good was it?

I once went out with a girl, who's sister used to sing a song a school which went "damp damp where ever he may be, i am the lord of the damp settee!! It was actually called lord of the dance....lol

I used to think Heaven was a holiday resort and Spain was where you went when you died. I nearly split my ring when Dad announced he was going to Madrid on a business trip.

I used to believe…

when i was young i used t belive that wen u die u go to hell.and then if your bad to the devil u go to heaven.and if your bad for god he makes u go to heaven.so were always being pused around.and sooner or later earth would take u back so u would be alive again.

I used to believe…

when i was little and my mom made me go to church, i believed that the minister (who seemed really tall to me and had red hair) was God. still to this day when i think of God i see a tall man with red hair.

I used to believe…

When I was very young, I used to hear adults refer to church as "the house of God", so one day when my sister wore new shoes to church I asked her on her return - "well, what did God think of your new shoes?"

I used to believe…

In the Lutheran church I attended every Sunday, we sang "Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the Highest." One really beautiful woman in the choir also had an amazingly good voice, and because the choir stood in a loft far above the rest of us parishoners, and no one told me what the word "Hosanna" meant, I figured that "Hosanna" must be the woman's name and we were singing about her.

I used to believe…

When I was younger we used to go to church a fair bit and I actually thought God's name was "Peter"...
You know, at the end of a reading you'd have to say "Thanks Peter God"...
Yeah, yeah... now I know it's "Thanks be to God".

I used to believe that at night when the lights went on and lit up the church that is was God shining down from heaven.

I used to think that the words were "Dance, dance where-ever you may be, I am the lord of the Dance Settee..."
I imagined that Jesus and his followers running around my living room and jumping on the settee. My parents still have the settee and I still think of it as the Dance Settee

I used to believe that Jews, Christians and Muslims were just another group of Christians like Catholics, Baptists, etc. And I used to think that Muhammad Ali and Moses were the same person, and that's why he was so popular.

I used to sing the song "Silent Night" with the words "Brown young virgins, mother and child"

I used to believe…

religuously, i used to believe catholics were different, martians practically, even though i played with them every day, it got worse before it got better

I used to believe because my father didn't believe in what my mother and I did (religion), that he would die and wouldn't get to live with us on the coming "Paradise Earth" that was supposed to be here in 1975.

Twenty-eight years later, Dad's thankfully still here with us and amazingly, Paradise Earth isn't.
