Kids say the most religious things !

In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, God got tired of creating the world, so He took the Sabbath off.

Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree.

Noah's wife was called Joan of Ark.  Noah built an ark, which the animals came on it in pears.

Lot's wife was a pillar of salt by day, but a ball of fire by night.

The Jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with the unsympathetic Genitals.

Sampson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah,  Samson slayed the Philistines with the axe of the apostles.

Moses led the Hebrews to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients.

The First Commandment is to humor thy father and mother.

Moses died before he ever reach Canada.

The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.

David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar.  He fought with the Finklesteins, a race of people who lived in  Biblical times.


What Children Say to God !

Dear GOD,

   In school they told us what You do.  Who does it when You are on vacation?
                    * Jane

Dear GOD,
   Are you really invisible or is that just a trick?
                    * Lucy

Dear GOD,
   Is it true my father won't get in Heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?
                    * Anita

Dear GOD,
   Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?
                    * Norma

Dear GOD,
   Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don't You just keep the ones You have now?
                    * Jane

Dear GOD,
   Who draws the lines around the countries?
                    * Nan

Dear GOD,
   I went to this wedding and they kissed right in church.
   Is that okay?
                    * Neil

Dear GOD,
   What does it mean You are a Jealous God?  I thought You had everything.
                    * Jane

Dear GOD,
   Did you really mean "do unto others as they do unto you"?  Because if You did, then I'm going to fix my brother!
                    * Darla

Dear GOD,
   Thank you for the baby brother, but what I prayed for was a puppy.
                    * Joyce

Dear GOD,
   It rained for our whole vacation and is my father mad!  He said some things about
   You that people are not supposed to say, but I hope You will not hurt him anyway.

                    Your friend
            (But I am not going to tell you who I am)

Dear GOD,
   Why is Sunday school on Sunday? I thought it was supposed to be our day of rest.
                    * Tom L.

Dear GOD,
   Please send me a pony. I never asked for anything before, You can look it up.
                    * Bruce

Dear GOD,
   If You give me a genie lamp like Aladin, I will give you anything you want except
my money or my chess set.
                    * Raphael

Dear GOD,
   My brother is a rat.  You should give him a tail.  Ha ha.
                    * Danny

Dear GOD,
   Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms.
   It works with my brother.
                    * Larry

Dear GOD,
   I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big but not with so much hair all over.
                    * Sam

Dear GOD,
   I think the stapler is one of your greatest inventions.
                    * Ruth M.

Dear GOD,
   I bet it is very hard for You to love all of everybody in the whole world.
   There are only 4 people in our family and I can never do it.
                    * Nan

Dear GOD,
   If You watch me in church Sunday, I'll show You my new shoes.
                    * Mickey D.

Dear GOD,
   I would like to live 900 years like the guy in the Bible.
                    Love, Chris

Dear GOD,
   We read Thomas Edison made light.  But in school they said You did it.  So I bet he stoled your idea.
                    Sincerely, Donna
