this is good
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 just 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 the 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 hears, unless he's 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 that they said you couldn't have.
Athiests are people who don't believe in God. I don't think there are any [where I live]. 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, like his father, and he told his father that they don't know what they are doing and to forgive them and God said OK.
His dad 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 out his dad by listening to prayers and seeing 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 somebody that you want to make happy, it's God!
Don't skip church to do something that you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong. And besides, the sun doesn't come out on the beach until noon anyway.
If you don't believe in God, besides being an athiest, you will be very lonely, because your parents can't go everywhere with you, likt 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 any time he pleases.
And that's why I believe in God."
