Mine are from childhood. One, the very common belief that adults were monsters in disguise and that sooner or later I would catch them while in their true form.
The other, that the sun was an artificial object manned by a couple of guys. Why two precisely I don’t know.

Khloe Kardashian is definitely OJ Simpson’s daughter,
Accounts for why she looks so different from her sisters.
And she does look a lot like OJ.
Also, the moon landing footage was faked.
We went to the moon, but the footage we have was prerecorded, I think.
One more, @anon2818416, oddly, my family celebrates Christmas too,
My mom seriously denied buying any of my gifts until I was fourteen.
I half believed her.

@GoldenRex I was raised in a secular household but we still celebrated Christian holidays as an excuse to get together with family and friends. But we never went to church or talked about Jesus or anything. I think both of my parents had bad experiences with religion growing up

I thought that bamboo was only in 7 locations on earth. This is what my sister told me. Because it happened to be at our neighbors house. Most my odd beliefs came from my sister. She also taught me a lot of good things too.

I believed that I was going to hell because I masturbated. In all fairness, this came directly from the church. It still bugs me sometimes, believe it or not

I believed that I would go to hell for wearing a tank top (showing my shoulders), which is a Mormon teaching. They teach that you’re supposed to wear “holy garments” under your clothes (after a certain age or something, IDR) and they can’t be visible.
I never wore garments in my life, and therefore I didn’t care about wearing tank tops and regular length shorts. Like a normal person… But I did worry for a while.

there are so many odd beliefs, I don’t even know which one is the oddest. I’ll just pick one that comes to mind, but I don’t know if it’s the oddest.
I believed that if you killed bugs their spirits would stay with you as little black specks mucking up your aura and you would appear dark and evil. I took all bugs outside. Never killed a bug well into my twenties.

This is a belief I still tend to struggle with, unfortunately. That and masturbation creates demons.

I do my best to set bugs free when feasible. As far as I’m concerned it’s just good manners. Some insects are stunning.

That’s an interesting one @Leaf never heard that before. Funny enough, I do the same thing. Rather than swatting insects like beetles, Hornets, crickets, anything except mosquitoes… They must die!! For Hornets I get them to climb onto the flyswatter, then flick them at the door. Not sure when I started doing this, but I just associate it with kindness and gentleness for God’s creatures
