THIS ONE IS FABULOUS!!!
It 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 on earth. 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 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.
