You know that one man's voice on radio ad's and movie previews? When I was little, I thought that was the Voice of God, running the whole show.

KT

Until high school, I thought that Calvinism was named for Calvin Coolidge. Not an entirely ridiculous confusion, since both were associated with a work ethic.

Danielle

I used to believe God was sitting up on a cloud, wearing a blue suit and a red tie, and looking very much like a guy I had seen on t.v.

lizzie

I used to belive that the reason God and the devil were enemies was because when they were youger they were best - friends. they were playing catch and the ball went over the fence and God was to short to get it and the devil wouldn't get it and they starting hating each - other. But the devil was green and God looked like sleepy from the 7 dwarfs.

Gigi from NY

I used to believe that God was a rather large obeise man in a turban, who sat cross-legged all day, directing the angels to do His bidding.

Aoi Tora

For the longest time, I believed that if my mom wasn't my mom, that Mary (the mother of Jesus) would have been my mom, and she would have been 'Angela, the mother of Jesus'.

Brad

I used to believe that the weather was a way of telling us how God was feeling. God was sad when it rained and God was angry when there was thunder and lightning. When it was a beautiful day, God was happy. =)

Jess

when i was little i used to believe that the devil would come from under my floor boards and take me to hell with him. so i slept in the middle of the bed so it would be harder for him to reach me.

When I was really young, I saw the film "The Little Mermaid" for the first time. For whatever reason, I associated the priest in the wedding scene with God. From then on, I imagined that God looked like the priest. Even in my adult life, I think of any faceless major deity as the priest from "The Little Mermaid."

Rikki

My grandfather was a pastor and when I was 2 I thought he was God because he was always up at the front and had a booming voice.

KW

When i was younger I thought that the world was seriously like a sno-globe....I was so scared that God might accidently drop it and we would all float around in the emptiness of space.. and die...i was so creeped out!

Sweet Spirit

It's pretty common I guess. :)
I used to think my mom was working with god, because she always knew when I lied and would say : God will be sad. So I assumed she and god hung out together or something. It was pretty scary, the two most powerful bosses ever.

Octupus

when ı was little ı used to think that minaret was god and somewhat later ı learned that we could not see the god now whenever ı remember that ı just laugh

little girl

I used to believe that God looked like "The Head" from Art Attack. I don't know where in the world this belief came from...

The girl who watched way too much Art Attack

When I was little I believed that if you
did something naughty "God" would punish
me as he was always watching. So I lived like "he" was always behind me and
knew even my thoughts. This was from my
mother and it took a long time for me to realize this is not true.

MG

I WAS PLAYING OUTDOORS ON A VERY HOT DAY. I WAS ABOUT 5. I WENT IN AND TOLD MY MOM THAT I WISHED JESUS WOULD TURN THE SUN DOWN. I PICTURED HIM SITTING IN A SMALL ROOM,BEHIND A DESK, WITH A LARGE DIAL BEHIND HIM,THAT WORKED THE SUN.

DEBBIE

Once when I was little I heard my dad say "God dammit!" So I thought Dammit was a person and he and God were friends.

Tory

i used to believe that god was the king in sleping beuty

stupid:D

I used to throw handfuls of sand into the air and then watch it drifting down while yelling, "The SAND GOD! The SAND GOD!" I believed the Sand god was very pleased with my offerings.

Once when I was little, my mother, who was raised religiously, was driving with me in the backseat. It was sunset, and she had just recently decided to try and implement religion into my life. So she's driving and she says, "Wow, look at the beautful sky God has given us to enjoy today". Without skipping a beat, I replied "Did she paint it with crayons?"
To this day, I believe God must be a woman, and that experience was also the end of organized religion in my life.
