religion

I used to belive that God was the sun. And mum always told me that God was among us people, so therefore I was always drawing feets on the sun. hi hi....

I always thought the line of "In Exelsis Deo" from the carol "Angels We Have Heard On High" was actually "Angels eat eggshells daily", and informed my very confused mother that I didn't want to go to heaven, because I didn't want to eat eggshells.

I used to believe…

When I used to go to Sunday School, I firmly believed the words to the song 'Jesus wants me for a sunbeam' were 'Jesus wants me for a zombie' and used to sing as loud as possible as it was my favourite song

I used to believe all people were either Catholics or Publics

I used to believe…

during prayers i always wondered why we had to wash lettuces when the vicar sais"let us pray" I thought he said "lettuce spray"

I used to believe…

At the end of the mass,the priest says something along the lines of "The Mass is ended...let us go in peace" and everyone says "Thanks be to God".When I was a kid,I didn't realise this was actually part of the mass:I thought it was a spontaneous thing that once the priest said the mass was finished and everyone could go home,they were so happy that they said "Thanks be to God".

I used to believe…

Actually my brother's,but here goes-in the Catholic Church we have a prayer containing the words "and may the souls of the faithful departed to the mercy of God rest in peace,Amen".

My mum told me that my older brother always thought these were the "playful departed".I thought that was cute.

When I was about 5, I would go to Sunday school to learn about God. After one class, my Mom told me to go say thank you to the teachers (a man and a woman). So I walked up to the man and said "Thank you Jesus." It got a big laugh from everyone and still does today.

I used to think that God didnt have ankle because he didn't need them as he could float.

I used to believe…

The hymn that goes

"Gladly the cross I'd bare"

was one, I thought involved a bear with eye problems.

"Gladly, the cross eyed bear".

I used to believe…

We used to sing a hymm at primary school called "Oh Jesus I have promised", which had the line "I hope to follow Duly, My saviour and my friend". I had an older sister called Julie, and wondered if she was named after the person in the song everyone wanted to follow.

I used to believe…

As a kid at primary school aged about 5 i used to sign "brother no one built the ark" instead of the correct "brother Noah built the ark"

I used to think that the words of a popular christmas carol were...

Oh Come all ye faithful
Joyful and Triangle

I've just turned 35, and was raised as a Catholic, doing everything that came with it - First Communion, Confirmation, and a whole lot of lessons both at school and church. And yet - until fairly recently, I NEVER realized that they REALLY meant that the host becomes the body of Christ. I thought it was all symbolic. My boyfriend, who is Church of England, had a very hard time convincing me of it. Well, although I had't really believed in any god for a long time, that certainly did it for me.

I used to believe that everything big was something God owned. So if I saw a huge pair of sunglasses (those ridiculous plastic neon ones) or an enormous footprint-shaped stain on my mattress base, I would say "Look mummy! That's God's footprint" It's still a bit of an amusing game to play I guess.

I used to believe that heaven was in the moon.

I was also taught about the end of the world and how the "good christians" would have to hide from the "beast" which supposedly was some government who wanted all religious people dead. I would cry because I thought that meant I would die or have to go into hiding before I was a teen, which meant I'd have no kids or be able to go places like Disneyland and basically not have a life of my own. That's pretty harsh for a kid.
