afterlife

When i was little, my parents would tell me to be good because my uncle was in Heaven with Jesus and they could see everything I did. So, I would always grab a towel and cover up with it whenever I would go to the bathroom or change so that they couldn't see me naked.

When I was a kid, my family lived 5 miles from Cheyenne Mountain, home of Norad. At 8 or 9 I had a lot of fear about nuclear war because we knew we were one of the first targets and we had air raid drills (not duck and cover) at school. Since my mom worked, I was afraid we kids would be home alone in piles of grey, flaky fallout. I asked Mom if the Russians dropped The Bomb, how would she get home from work to get us? I found her reply very comforting: "Don't worry, honey, if they drop the bomb, we'll all be instantly vaporized and we'll meet up in heaven."

As a preschooler I used to believe that if we went to heaven when we died, we lived in heaven before we were born. I went around telling my friends that I went around heaven saying good-bye to Mary, Joseph, and Jesus before I was born and telling them I would see them later when I died.

I used to believe if you let go of a balloon outside that it would float up to heaven for the children waiting to be born.

Sara

I used to think that if you were mean, after you die, you go to hell where Satan makes you slide down giant razor blades before you go into the pool of fire. Ha

Gary

As a child aged 4, a younger sibling died. It was my impression that his body would be placed atop a palm tree where messengers from heaven would retrieve this returning "angel". As an adult I learned of similar beliefs by the American Indians; at least in the manner they placed their departed atop high trees, mountains, etc.

I used to believe that if you look into the center of a fire hard enough, you could see hell.

When a friend of mine was 15!, he said in the class-room: Howcome can people come to heaven, when we have opened mass graves and found lots of skeletons?

I used to think you could drive to heaven to visit your friends and relatives who had died before....

I used to believe the nuns could decide if I would go to hell.

Colleen

i used to believe that when we died, an angel would come down and carry our body to heaven

Anon

I use to think that Heaven was located on the top of clouds. Therefore, if I looked really hard and somehow saw the top of a cloud, I could see Heaven. Weird!

Matthew

I use to believe that if I baptised kittens they would go to cat heaven.

Edward

I used to believe that if you prayed enough to God he would bring the deceased back to like.
