A Little Boy’s Explanation of God ……

THIS IS FABULOUS !!!

It was written by an 8-year-old named Danny Dutton, who lives in 

Chula Vista, CA. He wrote it for his third grade homework

 assignment, to ‘explain God.’ I wonder if any of us could have 

done as well?

… And he had such an assignment, in California, and someone

 published it, I guess miracles do happen ! ….

EXPLANATION OF 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 grownups, 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’tgo 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 Sabbath 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.’
