EXPLANATION OF GOD (through the eyes of a child)

[Guest guest]

" One of God's main

jobs is making people. He makes them to replace the ones that die, so there

will be enough people to take care of things on earth. He doesn't make

grownups, just babies. I think because they are smaller and easier to make.

That way he doesn't have to take up his valuable time teaching them to talk and

walk He can just leave that to

mothers and fathers. "

God's second most

important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some

people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't

have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this. Because he hears

everything, there must be a terrible lot of noise in his ears, unless he has

thought of a way to turn it off.

" God sees

everything and hears everything and is everywhere which keeps Him pretty busy.

So you shouldn't go wasting his time by going over your Mom and dad's head

asking for something they said you couldn't have. "

" Atheists are

people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any in town. At least

there aren't any who come to our church. "

" Jesus is God's

Son. He used to do all the hard work like walking on water and performing

miracles and trying to teach the people who didn't want to learn about God.

They finally got tired of him preaching to them and they crucified him. But he

was good and kind, like his father, and he told his father that they didn't

know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said O.K. "

" His dad God

appreciated everything that he had done and all his hard work on earth so he told

him he didn't have to go out on the road anymore. He could stay in heaven. So

he did. And now he helps his dad out by listening to prayers and seeing things

which are important for God to take care of and which ones he can take care of

himself without having to bother God.

Like a secretary, only

more important. " " You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to

help you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the

time. " " You should always

go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there's anybody you

want to make happy, it's God. Don't skip church or do something you think will

be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong and besides the sun doesn't

come out at the beach until noon anyway. "

" If you don't

believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your

parents can't go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can. It is good to

know He's around you when you're scared, in the dark or when you can't swim and

you get thrown into real deep water by big kids "
