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 very-
where 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.
