Children have an extraordinary curiosity when it comes to understanding the world around them. Just pair that curiosity with their naturally occurring bluntness and innocence, and you'll realize how hilarious children actually are.
While their observations and questions do make their parents want to disappear into thin air if the kids share them in public, it's best not to stop them from being curious, at least for entertainment value.
And while children can have funny questions about just anything, religion is no exception, especially for those raised in Christian families. So when one teacher asked her 3rd-grade students to write letters to God, they posed him with some very interesting questions.
While probably unintended to be funny, the kids provided some comedy-gold moments. So scroll below to read the letters.

I'm not that religious, but I like to think there is a higher power. Whether you call it god or something else. When I was a kid, I used to think that gods from different religions all worked in heaven and did their wonders. Maybe the big bang was just two gods giving each other a massive high five? Oh how much more simple life was as a kid.

After looking at the name for a good 2 minutes, I now know it says "Charlene." However, my brain initially computed it as "Charle-he," and I kept doing it in a Michael Jackson voice. Clearly, I need more coffee.

the actual meaning behind it is that followers of Christ can't worship other gods, as He is the only one

In case anyone's wondering it means God gets jealous when we love things more than him or when we choose other gods instead of him but like if I created a whole universe with people and they chose to deny I exist or they make up their own creator(s) or things like that then I'd be jealous too (sorry for the sermon I just thought some people would like to know what it means)

In the 1780s in Gloucester, England, two men named Robert Raikes and Thomas Stock started it as a way to educate factory children, as well as those who were poor and orphaned (since they worked Mon-Sat and had Sundays off).

Originally, the Sabbath was Saturday. But, the Romanization of the Church happened under Constantine and, as a way to draw in more followers under the prevailing religion of Christianity, he appealed to the sun worshippers who still praise the sun god on Sunday (which is why it's called that in the first place). So Sunday became the Romanized Sabbath in Christian faith.

Dear Tom, Originally the day of rest or the Sabbath was on Saturday.The romanish church changed it.

Children’s unique views of the world often manifest through their questions and artwork. It’s fascinating to see their unfiltered creativity in daring tasks, such as writing letters to God or drawing whimsical creatures.
Illustrators like Tom Curtis have taken this a step further by showcasing how these innocent and hilarious doodles could appear in reality. His transformative work brilliantly illustrates the imaginative perspectives children bring to everyday life.

Again, what's with all the downvotes? If you guys would like, I have many points on why to believe in Christianity. However, lots of people don't, and I'll respect that. It's just that I don't understand why the pushing of atheism onto Christians is now seen as a good thing, when separation by religion is never good. Could someone enlighten me? I think this is a pretty important topic, and I would love to see other points on it!
