> EXPLANATION OF 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 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 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 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 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. 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.'

> Have an awesome day, and know that someone
