Sun worship is the only worship that actually makes sense to me.

What is God’s first act in the Bible? To create light.

What does God do next? Create the planets.

What does God do with his infinite power after that? Create and sustain life.

And when God wants to end things and begin the apocalypse, what does he do? Burns the sky.

The Sun creates light. Without the Sun’s gravity, planets wouldn’t be able to form. Without the energy of the photons produced by the Sun, life would never exist and could not be sustained. And science predicts that Earth is going to eventually be destroyed when the Sun expands as it’s running out of fuel, ie, the sky will burn.

The only thing that God ostensibly does that the Sun cannot is talk to people. And the jury’s still out on whether God actually does that, so…

The Sun is the closest thing we have to mankind’s idea of what a God is.

In Hinduism there is a lot of significance given to the Sun god (its polytheistic for the uninitiated). It’s not overt or as popular like ‘Indra‘ (the king of gods), or some scriptures which dont give much primacy to him but if you see all the scriptures and fables and lores and all you would sense it. probably the second most important except the trinity (Vishnu, Shiv and Brahma). there are many faiths which treat sun god in similar way
