One of God\u2019s 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 here on earth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t make grown-ups, just babies.\u00a0 I think because they are smaller and easier to make. That way, He doesn\u2019t have to take up His valuable time teaching them to talk and walk, He can just leave that to mothers and fathers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

God\u2019s 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 besides bedtime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

God doesn\u2019t have time to listen to the radio or TV on account of this.\u00a0 Since He hears everything, not only prayers, there must be a terrible lot of noise in His ears, unless He has thought of a way to turn it off.<\/strong><\/p>\n

God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere, which keeps Him pretty busy. So you shouldn\u2019t go wasting His time by going over your parent\u2019s head asking for something they said you couldn\u2019t have.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Jesus is God\u2019s Son. He used to do all the hard work like walking on water and performing miracles and trying to teach the people who didn\u2019t want to learn about God. They finally got tired of Him preaching to them and they crucified Him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But He was good and kind like His Father and He told His Father that they didn\u2019t know what they were doing and to forgive them and God said OK.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Atheists are people who don\u2019t believe in God.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think there are any in Chula Vista. At least there aren\u2019t any who come to our church.<\/strong>
\nHis Dad (God) appreciated everything that He had done and all His hard work on earth so He told Him He didn\u2019t 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.\u00a0 Like a secretary, only more important, of course.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can pray anytime you want and they are sure to hear you because they got it worked out so one of them is on duty all the times.<\/strong>
\nYou should always go to church on Sunday because it makes God happy, and if there\u2019s anybody you want to make happy, it\u2019s God.\u00a0 Don\u2019t skip church to do something you think will be more fun like going to the beach. This is wrong!\u00a0 And, besides, the sun doesn\u2019t come out at the beach until noon anyway.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t believe in God, besides being an atheist, you will be very lonely, because your parents can\u2019t go everywhere with you, like to camp, but God can.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is good to know He\u2019s around you when you\u2019re scared in the dark or when you can\u2019t swim very good and you get thrown into real deep water by big kids. But you shouldn\u2019t just always think of what God can do for you.<\/strong>
\nI figure God put me here and He can take me back anytime He pleases. And that\u2019s why I believe in God.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
