Explain God

This was forwarded to my friend by Mrs. Dianey Coutinho.
This  was written by an 8 year old,  Danny Dutton of Chula Vista, Ca, for his
third grade homework  assignment. the assignment was to explain God.
wonder if any of us could do as well???
Explain "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 onearth.
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
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 verylonely,
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.
