Little 

Boy's Explanation of God -- Fabulous!!! 

-

Out 

of the mouths of the 

Babes-- 

I 

certainly don't think an adult could explain 

this more beautifully!

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'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 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 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.'
