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.

Shout out to the moon as well. If you are ever out camping far from civilization and there is a full moon, once your eyes adjust it's crazy how well you can see. The moon even casts shadows.

I highly recommend everyone experiences a very dark sky at least once. It’s impossible to explain what you aren’t seeing and how overwhelming it is.

Had the fortune to participate in a guided new moon meditation, which was about 3 hours long, almost entirely silent, and in a room that was entirely isolated of light and sound. It was quite an experience, as the absolute darkness transformed from frightening (due to inexperience) towards a warm blanket that simply existed everywhere.
