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!
