I don't know, but unlike God, you can pretty much see the sun most any day. So I think worshipping the thing you can see without needing any intervention is a better lifestyle.

All Praise The Sun! Praise The Sun!

I wish that were true. Rare are the days when it graces us over here with its presence.

Wherever you are must be one of the unlucky places and I'm sorry for that.

You can see it. It makes all life on Earth possible. Its warm radiance drives away the darkness and cold of night. It doesn't judge you or take away its light based on some arbitrary rules set down by a guy in a funny hat. It's a damn sight better than most of the dieties we've made up over the centuries.

Praise Sol!

The sun is the reason for life on esrth. We call the earth mother so the sun is our father!

Is the moon the weird uncle that is always peeping at us but we only catch them doing it at night?

It's tough competing with Joe Pesci.

The sun works in mysterious ways.

The sun has many millions of modern worshippers. Every person sunbathing. Every farmer and gardener. Everyone with PV (photovoltaic) on their roof who loves checking the stats. You don’t need to personify something to pay it respect and gratitude. A moderate solar flare may remind some of its power, but so far in my lifetime the sun has been a merciful god, and I give many thanks.

For those sunscreen UV-phobes: your blame of the sun is misplaced. It is the atmosphere of this planet who’s punishing us with sun burns for our disrespectful emissions.

Photovoltaics, solar panels.

Just get an alien race to build a dyson sphere and supply everything with energy on demand to all earth based lifeforms.

Just make friends with Trump and then the whole world will line up to suck your dick.

If humans love anything is facism and racism.
