God Finishes 10th


Children under 10 think being a celebrity is the "very best thing in the world" but do not think quite as much of God, a survey has revealed.
The poll of just under 1,500 youngsters ranked "God" as their tenth favorite thing in the world, with "celebrity, good looks and being rich" at one, two and three respectively.
However, God did come in first again this year as "the most famous person" in the world, beating US President George Bush into second place.
Here is a sample of some of the survey's results: What do you think is "the very best thing in the world?"

1. Being a Celebrity 2. Good Looks 3. Being Rich 4. Being Healthy 5. Pop Music 6. Families 7. Friends 8. Nice Food 9. Watching Films 10. Heaven/God

I think if someone asked me what I think is "the very best thing in the world" when I was 10 years old I would have said a "Bob's Fiesta Burger" from Bob's Drive-In in Paducah, KY or catching a nice fish from the lake in our neighborhood.

I see that you and me didn't even make it in the top ten.
