The sun has a lot of traits that seem pretty godly.
If you look at the sun directly, it damages your eyes. Without the protection of the earth’s atmosphere and magnetic field, the sun’s rays would fry you crispy in seconds.
At the same time, we need the sun’s energy daily, or life would rapidly die and the world would freeze. Too much (some CMEs in geological history) will bake all surface life crispy. Too little (some volcanic winters) and we have mass famines due to sequential bad crops.
Imagine the sun a human body. A blood draw is comparably the rest of the whole solar system. A drop on the slide is the earth. That’s us. The aggregate of our joy and suffering etc. We’re a tiny drop of star stuff.
I think people who think the universe is about us or about Jesus just cannot grasp perspective regarding the magnitude of our sun, the solar system and the universe beyond. It gives zero fucks about how often microbes on a speck of dust masturbate.
Idk, nothing about the sun evokes trashy, manipulative, baseless fan fiction. As far as I can tell that is the only actual trait possessed by anything god related.
It’s true. Boring gods may make for easy civilization development but don’t make entertaining stories.
Especially with humans living through the ice age.
Praise the Sun!
Instead we’re still fighting over which religion is best in the Middle East … for 6,000 years!
The best part is that all three fighting over who has the “best” religion in the Middle East all ultimately boil down to being the same fucking religion anyway, all worshiping the same god. They just can’t agree on how to worship the imaginary sky daddy so we’ve had umpteen years of truly pointless violence.

Except not for 6000 years.
The monotheism of the Hebrews was fairly recent, all things considered. 800 to 500 BCE.
After the destruction of Solomon’s Temple, The Hebrews started retconing their holy texts to make themselves look better. They could do this because most of the previous holy texts had burned in the temple.
Read up on Second Temple Judaism. It’s the period where most of the Old Testament was written. It started in 516 BCE.

Lol, math is hard
The sun is: Safe Nuclear at a distance, and it also sustains the engine here on Earth for life. We’re not living in some Zero-sum game here. Essentially all of the energy the sun puts out, provides for the difference (inefficiency) in all of our lifecycle processes. It’s like…the circle of life is rolling on flat ground. It needs something to keep pushing it forward, or else it stops.
This goes hard. 🔥
Either one of the gods just show up for real and end the fighting or just agree it’s all made up please.
