3. The Christian God - Believing in a nigh omniscient patriarch who punishes you for being naughty and rewards you for being nice. Silly parents, that's not a good way to get your children to act good.
*slow clap*

Congratulations - we got a whole 0 posts without unnecessary sectarianism -.-

Up until about kindergarten, I believed people used to live in black and white. Yeah, it's not exactly a question that pops up naturally and parents/adults can't be blamed for not thinking about this one.

I believed the furry folks and mechatronics at the fun fair to be real, deformed and angry live animals up until about age three or so. It was quite a relieve when I figured it out, as that stuff was super creepy. Like some evil monkey that popped out of some box that was far too small to hide a whole monkey in it.

Oh, and I still believe in God. I know he does not exist, I ain't stupid. But I know very well that the idea of God exists, and in my little bubble of multicultural, multi-faceted life experiences, God is of prime importance, especially when interacting with children from different cultures/religions/cults... and their parents. I just find God to be much more helpful and efficient than Santa Che, Saint Marx or Papa Smurf Engels.

If it weren't for the generally accepted notion of God, we'd be bashing each others heads in, and it wouldn't even be a proper survival of the fittest, it would be survival of the most ferocious.

That does not cover the aspect of religious fantards that kill and hate in the name of their respective, superiour God, mind you.

Oh my God, me too!

I also believed my sister invented the word 'shit', because she was the first person I heard say it.

For the longest time, even some months after sex-ed toward the end of Elementary school, I thought babies were born out of a woman's butthole.

I was a dumb child.

I thought The Moon was just another Earth and that every Earth only had one country so if you wanted to go somewhere you had to travel by space ship

As a child I believed people could potentially be worth wile.

The naive nature of childhood I guess.

Pretty much anything you had a mind to tell me

along with:-
It was possible to become a power Ranger.
Thomas the Tank's island home (Sodor or something) was a real place where sentient trains were developed.
I was the world's greatest child artist.
I was special (I'm not and no neither are you).

Wow, I think this post could be darker. Try harder next time.

OT: I used to think all adults were smart and knew what they were doing.

If you were going to Antarctica you had to wear suction cups on your feet or you'd fall into space. Also that the world was a hollow sphere of water and when you were under the ocean, you were inside the Earth. Both at age 4. I also wanted to be a tiger when I grew up.

I used to think that credit cards were basically free money. Although, in fairness, credit cards are pretty damn complicated, and I'm sure most adults don't really understand how they work, which is a bit scary considering how many of these people probably use them on a regular basis.

I probably should have added now I know they are, they just act like arse holes most of the time.

i had a female friend who was unaware that men and women had different sexual organs...
haha kids-

[quote/] until she was 18
THE FUCK!!???


[quote/]that is a 100% true story and the lady in question is far from mentally challenged, she just led a sheltered life
sheltered? more like sealed inside an airtight time capsule and buried under 100feet of concrete...

seriously though there is somthing SERIOUSLY wrong there..how could you not figure it out in 18 years of life? didnt she SEE that men don't have breasts.?..can't she see there is a bulge there when men wear tight pants? did she never watch a damn movie with a rating over G? what the hell is up with the parents?

OT: that women and men are seen as eaqual in our society :(

Got another pretty common one, always flirted with the notion that i was the only real human on earth and everyone else was a robot or part of some elaborate dream, still think like that sometimes
isnbt that what they call sociopathy? or psychopathy?
Solipsism[/quote]

Er well fuck thats a new diagnosis for me! Thanks a lot!

Also you might want to add some more words (like a full definition of solipsism) to your posts so that the mods dont come after you.[/quote]

Thanks, the mods are a bit totalitarian in that respect. I'll put it in now.

"Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist."

Solipsism isn't an inherently stupid idea but it is massively pointless.

I never really bought the Tooth Fairy or Father Christmas, but I did spend a few days convinced that my brother was younger than me. I thought there was no possible way he could be older than me. I was so adamant, even he was starting to believe me.

God is the first thing that comes to mind. What a silly and childish thing to believe.
