One of my cousins in the States keeps sending me just such e-mail trying to win me back into the side of "Light."

This 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.

God sees everything and hears everything and is everywhere 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 people 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.
