<><> Explanation Of God  By An 8 Year Old <><>

"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 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 Sarnia. 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."

"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."

<><> Explain God Updated <><>

You ask me to explain God
in words you'll understand,
God is the one who makes us
but doesn't make us a man.

God makes us to replace
those who are dying here on earth,
so there'll be enough people
to share and do their worth.

God first makes us into a baby
cause they're small and don't take up space,
He won't even have to teach them
how to walk or say their grace.

God's time is very valuable
He listens to us pray,
no time for TV or videos
or play around all day.

God hears everything, you know,
right down to every cough,
I'm glad He just doesn't go
and turn important noise off.

I do know that God always
sees, hears and knows what I do,
that's why I work at being good
is that should be your reason, too

You ask me to explain God
in words you will understand
God is the one who maketh us
but doesn't maketh us into man

God maketh us to replace
those who are dying on earth
so we will have enough people
to share and do their worth

God will first maketh us into a baby
cause they're small and don't take up space
He wont even have to teach them
how to walk or say their grace

Gods time is very valuable
He has to listen to us pray
no time for TV or videos
or play around all day

God hears everything, you know,
right down to every cough
or maybe he has learnt by now
how to turn all that noise off

I do know that God always
sees, hears and knows what I do
that is why I'm always good
is that your reason too
