- Once upon a time there lived a man in a certain town. He never heard about God. Every day he watched the people going to confession. This day he went too. Before he went into the confessional box he bought a bun. When he went to confess the priest asked him did he know anything about God. He said he did not. The priest told him that God was everywhere.
