When I was a kid, I thought once an actor or an actress gets killed in a movie that they have died in real life. I was always like 'why would somebody sacrifice their life for ordinary film'

I was told that when you lie as a kid you die.

We were told as a kid that if you attend school on Saturdays, is a lizard that will teach you.

[b] To get money, kill a Red head agama lizard, cut the head and bury it for three days, come back later to dig out your naira note.

To make a bird motionless or stand still above the sky, just hit a nail on the floor, step your big toe on it. point your index finder towards it and stretch it backward with your other index finger.

[s]And you didn't see that it's a Rhetorical question?




God is not an ideology, he is the perfect creator.
All your knowledge and wisdom can't understand the nature of God because He is s spirit. It takes only a spiritual man to understand God. He is not a course in University. HE IS THE MYSTERY ABOVE ALL MYSTERIES. HE IS SOVERO... HE WAS NOT APPOINTED OR ELECTED. Your opinion is not necessary when we talk about GOD[/s].

Bullshît.

Where was your God when animals were raping his follower/worshiper in his sacred house?

God doesn’t exist.

Think about it.
People only believe such because they grew up in a Christian or Muslim background. If you were born a north Korean, chances are, you won't believe that there's a god because you were never taught such doctrine.

Also ask yourself, what kind of god throws people in hell and watches a girl get raped and killed in a church? They say he's a good god, yet the evil. It's either they're lying or he doesn't exist, or both. Ask questions bro, you'll never get any satisfying answer from anyone. They'll only tell you to believe with faith.

You sir,are a wise man.

Just keep throwing words (even the ones you don't know their meaning).

In your mind now, you are the professor of language. No wonder you are religious - always thinking you know it all. You can't conduct little research of a word on Google grin.
Infact, I intentionally used the word blaspheming to mock you guys. However, contextually, I didn't commit blunder.

Blasphemy, in a religious sense, refers to great disrespect shown to God or to something holy, or to something said or done that shows this kind of disrespect; heresy refers a belief or opinion that does not agree with the official belief or opinion of a particular religion. Both words are also sometimes used in general, not necessarily religious, contexts.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/blasphemy

But "blasphemy" also has non-religious connotations in the New Testament and a range of meanings that have nothing to do with God or his authority. In the letter to Titus, the author adjures readers to be submissive and obedient to rulers and authorities, to blaspheme no one, and to show courtesy to all people (3:1-2). Again "blaspheme" here is often translated as "speak evil," which makes this nuance of the Greek word difficult to discern for modern readers. Interestingly, Titus shows again the relationship between kings, rulers, governments and blasphemy.

Being a kid was the most fun part of my life. It was also the time when i believe alot of dumb things which i later realise in life were all false. Some were spread by my parents, relatives, siblings, and friends to make us afraid or control us.

3. Lucozade and maltuna are for sick people.

4. I believe when you take mango and at the same time drink garri it will kill you.

6. Wen I swallow gum it will tie my intestine and I will die.

7. If I swallow any seed the tree will grow on my head

8. There is grinding machine in my stomach that digest the food i eat.

9. I thought trees moves backwards wen you are in a moving car.

15. That women gave birth through their navel.

16.If u point burial ground. Something bad will happen to you

17.If u drag a stick on the ground while walking. Your mama will give birth to snake.

18. I use to believe all pot belly men are rich.

19. I use to think that all black people will go to hell because devil is black and White people will go to heaven because Jesus is white.

20. Satan was right under my feet.

21. Any time u mistakenly cut ur self and blood is coming out you should start sucking it so that your blood will not finish.

22. I use to believe eating head of ice fish together with the eyes will make my eyes big as well.

23. If u jump/cross me,I will not grow again.

24. If u flog a girl with broom,she will not marry.

25 when i was a kid i used to think the moon follows me wherever i go as i was getting older the Story changed that all streets have there own moon lol.

26. When you dont go to church on sunday and u stay alone at home satan will come and steal you.

27. I believed everyone who stays in the village is either a witch or a wizard. I vowed never to visit any village.

28. if a cat spits on you death awaits you

29. Older people never Excrete

As a little boy, I used to believe that actors, actresses, newscasters etc were literally inside my TV and would sneak out and into the TV at midnight depending on their schedule. grin grin
Do u know that even some adults think that newscasters memorize the news off hand now.
Re: The Dumbest Things I Believed As A Kid by kingjoe(m): 5:24am On Jun 03, 2020
Let's talk about what adults believe now. 1.That newscasters memorize their news off hand.especially those that don't look at any paper but look front at the camera.
2.many adults don't believe there is covid19.they say it's scam.
3.they don't believe there are poor people in america.that once you go to America or Canada you become rich.
4.they believe that you are an illiterate if you don't go to a higher institution.literacy is different from going to uni/poly.its ability to read and write .
5 if I drive an clean SUV .you are rich or you build and live in a big mansion you are rich.not knowing the same way you use your last money to buy that your dream phone.is the same way a guy can use last card to buy a car and be managing.
