A Childs description of God
Posted by: <@...>
grade homework assignment to "Explain God".
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 grown-ups, 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 besides
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 Chula Vista.
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 "Okay."
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 hear you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all
the times.
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 to 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. He is there to protect you and make you feel safe when you are
scared in the dark or when you can't swim very good and you get thrown into
real deep water by big kids. But you shouldn't just always think of what God
can do for you. I figure God put me here and He can take me back anytime He
pleases.
And that's why I believe in God.
