I used to believe that no matter how old i got, or how smart i was - i would NEVER ever be able to do two things: learn all the prayers they said at mass, and drive a car. Those two things were just the hardest things in the world. I used to try to plan how I would live not being able to drive - or talk along at church, and how i'd have to pretend i could.

when i was little, i went to a jewish day camp. we would sing a song everyday that went like this: "let the heavens be glad / let the heavens be glad / let the earth rejoice / let the sea roar / let people unite!" I thought the last line was "let's go to sea world tonight" my mom still teases me about that, 10 years after i would sing that...
I used to believe than God lived in the sky and the clouds were heaven.When i went on my first aeroplane I Saw the clouds and started asking "where is God?Is he lost? Is he dead?Where is Grandad?(he was dead)"I then began to run up and down the aeroplane having a tantrum because I could'nt see God, Jesus or Any dead people!

I used to believe that out in space there was a giant zipper that only God could unzip and behind that was heaven.
I was convinced that God looked like the Wizard of Oz...you know, the big scary greenish face? No wonder why I didn't like going to church! :o)
I used to believe…
The song "dance, dance whereever you may be. I am the lord of the dance said he" I always thought was "i am the lord of the dancing team and I need you all whereever you may be and I need you all on the dancing team" God was a groover!
I grew up in a catholic family. We attended mass every Sunday. I grew up believing the prayer "Hail Mary full of grace" was " Hail Mary full of grapes". Everyone in church mumbled when they said it. I also believed God's name was Peter as I thought they all responded "Thanks Peter God" when in fact it was "Thanks be to God"

I always pictured the good Samaritan as a Samurai. Still do, in fact.
I remember once having a conversation with some friends of mine when I was about six, when we were trying to deicide how long ago Jesus was born. Eventaully we concluded it must have been about 50 years ago.

When I was little I used to go to Sunday School. We sang hymns and when we sang 'I am the Lord of the Dance, said he' I thought for years we were singing about Michael Flatly.
Even I thought it was strange singing about Michael Flatly at church but everything at church was strange so i believed that for ages!

We were driving past a nativity scene while looking at christmas lights. My daughter, age 4, said, "Mom, is god the girl one?".

When I was really little, there was this show on Nickelodeon. It was a game show that had a few teams (I can remember the Barracudas right away) and they had to go through a maze or something...I don't remember, I was only 5.
Anyway, there was this HUGE stone face guy. Now whenever I think of God I think of that huge stone thing.
I don't know why, but some how I associated the visual image of colonel sanders of KFC as the face of God. Whenever I pictured God I pictured the restaurant's icon. I didn't realize this until I was about thirteen....

When I was younger I thought that you had to be Italian to be Catholic because all the Catholic people I knew were Italian.
