In the church response, instead of "Thanks be to God," I thought it was "Thanks speedy God" because church goers were thanking Him for the reading being over quickly.

There is a an Easter him called 'Thine be the Conqueror' which contains the line 'risen conquering son'. I used to think that line was 'risen concrete son' so for a number of years I thought Jesus was made of concrete and that's why he could rise again after being crucified.

In one church hymn the words are- most highly favoured lady, but I used to think it was most highly flavoured gravy.
I used to believe that the knocking sound that radiators make when they come on was the devil comming up through the pipes from hell to get me
I used to believe that, during the lord's prayer at church, someone would play big kettle drums in the background, outside the church somewhere. I didn't work out 'til i was about 10 that it was just massed male voices making the bassy rumbles!
I used to believe that the devil would eat parts of my body if I didn't cover my self properly at night!
I used to think that the God was called Harold. Whilst saying the Lord's Prayer at school I used to say 'Harold by thy name' as apposed to 'hallowed be they name'.

In the hymn 'Lord, Have Mercy on Us All', I used to sing Lord have mercy on Azal and I thought "Azal" was a little man in a spaceship like the one in Button Moon!
I could never figure out why priests worked on Sunday which God had made a day of rest
I used to believe that God was actually at the back of the hall when you had to pray in the morning assembly before school. Even more stupidly I believed that if you didn't shut your eyes for the whole prayer, he would burn them out with lighting. So I plucked up the courage after probably about a year of this behaviour and looked back one day... when God wasn't there I let out a yelp of relief and was promptly caned in front of the whole school. Strangely, I don't really believe in God that much anymore.

Me and my sister both thought for ages that the words to a hymn we used to sing at school "For I am the Lord of the Dance, said he", went "For I am the Lord of the down setee". We were a bit confused about this and worried because we didn't have a setee in our house - did that mean we couldn't have Jesus in our house too?

At sunday school we were shown an illustrated children's book about "the Prodigal son". He was wearing a "dress" so for a while I thought that "prodigal" meant transvestite and that was why he had to leave his family, but in the end they decided to accept him. Ridiculous!
I believed that Jesus was made of soft cheese, and called him Cheesus.

When I was 4, I believed that if God washes his hands without soap it rains and if he does it with soap it snows.

As a young woman, I never lived down being heard to sing - as a six-year-old - "Jesus bitches shine".
I thought that the song "the Lord of the dance" was about dancing on a sette - rather than "I am the Lord of the Dance said he". It was great that he as a grown up was inviting us to jump on his settee.
