seriously, religious debates never go anywhere anyway.


We're talkin tooth fairies and Santa Clause not David & Golliath

I just thought of something that'd be great for this. I remember when I was a kid, there was a trail at the end of my street that went into the woods and I used to love riding my bike on that trail all day, sometimes alone, but most of the time with my friends.

A friend of mine told me there was a monster that looked like Freddy Kruger with 6 eyes and bigger, sharper claws. I believed him lol. I didn't care though, I had so much fun in the woods riding the trails back there (there was even a 6ft vertical ramp/wall made of dirt!) that I decided to brave it anyway. Everything scared me as a kid, nothing ever kept me from facing my fears though.

Well, I used to believe that pizza was like steak. What I mean is, I used to think that pizza was an animal.

When I was young, I thought the Ultimate Warrior died when he used too many steroids and tried to lift up a car.

When I was a Kid I used to think that there was no such thing as a Teacher that had kids of their own and because of that I didn't feel so guilty when I got pissed off at a mean teacher and started to cuss her out. lol :lol:

lmao this is an awesome post!

I'm really into this! Please everyone keep them coming!

When I was younger I believed that eating sunflower seeds would cause a sunflower to grow out of stomach, through the esophagus and stick right out of the mouth. Apparently it was because I did'nt know the seeds were roasted before they were sold at the convenience store (ex. 7-11). Not to mention I did'nt know much about the digestive process at the time. Wierd belief, huh?

When I was in elementary school since I didn't like any of my teachers I imagined them all being girlfriends of the principal since he was an asshole too.

I believed my brother's story of how the original Mr. Belvedere died and was replaced by a lookalike.

I thought Phil Collins had a twin brother who played drums in Genesis. If you don't know what I am talking about, the early Genesis videos would show Phil Collins singing at the mic and then show him in a different scene playing drums not singing and wearing completely different clothing.

My older sister and I had my younger sister convinced that there were snakes in this little flower pot we had in our dinning room. Cracks me up to this day!

But about me, when I was really young, like 3 or 4, I totally believed that any leaf from any tree that was bigger than my face, and at that age, almost all leafs were bigger than my face, could get attached and suck the life out of me. My older sister told me that and would find big leafs and chase me around. Affected me for a long time, lol. yea, I'm sad...lol.

Alright, you know how some old vhs tapes have little black bars sticking out in the back of the tape where the film is? When you open up the back flap you see the film and behind it there are sometimes little black bars depending on how old your tape is.

Well, one time one of my tapes popped and I somehow thought it was because of those black bars, but my uncle came to the rescue and the tape works perfectly now. Thank goodness too because that tape holds some of my favorite childhood memories.

I'm sure I had dozens of weird beliefs as a child but the only one coming to mind right now is related to that old Chuck Wagon dog food commercial from the '70's. I was convinced that the little chuck wagon that escaped from the bag and ran across the kitchen floor was real. I would beg and plead with my parents to please buy this dog food for our dog because I was desperate to see the chuck wagon run across our kitchen floor. My Dad thought this was hilarious so of course he held off on telling me that it wasn't real, for awhile anyway.

How bout I could come up with something I used to believe in but not anymore that most of you probably STILL believe in (suckerrrrrs!)

Ghosts. And I don't wanna hear anybody saying that offends them because if you do, that is BS because I KNOW they don't exist. Every time anybody has EVER tried to prove it to me, I laugh at their non-sense and like any skeptic, point out that "That orb could be a particle of dust floating really close to the lens" or "its just a reflection, that's not a ghost, that person is ALIVE and WELL not 10 Ft. Away from the photographer lol"

Although... I've taken some pretty spooky pics myself of stuff I can't explain. Such as the lights on the inside of a mausoleum being on when... I don't even think mausoleums HAVE lights. All pics taken at night of course...

And I have a picture of a fairie that I took. It was a random pic, taken at night of some old rail road tracks next to a graveyard (yeah I admit, I still ghost hunt even though I'm such a skeptic) and when I reviewed the pics, there it was, shadow and everything. I still have the photo. I wont show it to you though for fear of someone stealing the image and saying its their own. yeah, I'm that protective of it.

I still don't believe in Fairies. I don't even believe the fairy in my pic is a fairy. Everyone else does... so that's just what I say when I refer to that pic.

Ghosts, Bahhh, try having your own personal boogeyman with no obvious reference against where he came from.

I had Mr. Flower, a 6 foot tall floating head and body with apparently no feet under what looked like a ripped up toga, with yellow eyes, a blond ponytail, and a grotesque face with a nose like Gonzo's covered in warts, lots of rings and bags around his eyes, crooked sharp teeth, and this goofy creepy voice. I dunno where he came from or how my brain came up with this crazy monster, but he was definatley the subject of many nightmares for years, most involving ghosts backing him up by coming out of the TV Set,

There was a time when I believed just about everything cool started in 1985. The DeLorean was made then, the first solidbody electric guitar, the second video game system, the first desktop PC. Once again, I don't know the origin to this one either....

I believed there were two bands called The Cars, that 80's band with the ghoul looking lead singer, and some mysterious 70's band that sounded like a cross between Devo and Boston from around the same time.

I once had a teacher who almost convinced me that coffee would stunt my growth....considering that at the ripe old age of 13 years old I was already 6 feet tall, it's not like I was in danger of being "short".

So yeah, I've heard just as many wacho beliefs as I have had myself. Thankfully I've gotten over all of them, though that scary weirdo-nosed boogeyman makes an appearance in my dreams from time to time, difference is these days, I kick his ass.

I remember watching an interview with Kermit the Frog as a kid and believed he was alive and real.

Also remember believing that if you swallow any kind of fruit seed, that since your body had water it would grow inside you and if you swallowed bubble gum it would never digest, it would stay in your stomach.

Since my mom had a step-father and couldn't stand him, and she would always tell me: "That man is not my father". I used to think my dad wasn't my dad. He was just some man that was supposed to take care of me.

I used to think when I was a kid that being a grown up would be awesome. It is to an extent but I would love just for a day go back to when I was a kid and had no worries and almost every thing was magical, exciting and new.

People used to say the same thing about the Ultimate Warrior.
