If only I could be so grossly incandescent…
I guess if we had a sun god instead of Christianity, climate change wouldn’t be a thing.
Sure it would. Global warming is the will of the Sun God. Praise be.
The sun is a woke conspiracy!
Reminds me of that one Star Trek episode
Spock: curious that a modern culture is worshiping the Sun
Uhura: they are worshiping Jesus
Spock:
The sun is billions of years old, unimaginably powerful, and it makes life on Earth possible. Sounds pretty godlike to me.
That’s basically the reason I have a massive sun tattoo taking up my entire right shoulder
From a Tumblr post that has been reposted a few times (in fact, my link is to the earliest repost I could find, as I think the original is long gone):
The sun is probably the closest thing we’ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here-
- Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient
- Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long
- Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths
- Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion
- Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children
- People used to sacrifice other people to appease it
- Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes
It may wipe out all life on Earth at any moment with the equivalent of a fart and not notice.
And it’s constantly screaming at us.
And when it gets mad it turns off our cell reception
It is good. But Is “opening the chest to sacrifice the heart of people” good?
Better than burning “witches” alive.
Not great, sure, but I’d trade a few hearts to keep the sun around. And yes, if it meant me too that’d be fine.
I’d sacrifice a few people to appease the sun during summer if it meant less heat.
Unfortunately humanity is angering another deity: Earth. The sun does not care about our pollution, but Earth is vengeful.It’s my dark secret dream that the most powerful people who are fatally ignorant… sacrifice themselves. 🧘🏾♀️
Sun worship I could get behind, as long as it’s not used to exert power over others. The sun is real and it powers almost all life on earth.
🤣 You’re actually right, the sun has done more for us than all the made up Gods combined!
George Carlin - The sun worshipperNever mind, someone got it below
I’ve really liked switching to celebrating the solar holidays (solstices, equinoxes, and midway points between them). They’re good times to take walks and think about life and the natural world
Imagine doing a 3-years crusade only to be burned like that when you finally get there.
I once went to see the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It’s very beautiful, and I’ll happily visit again when it’s finally finished. However, when the tour guide told me to look up at the tower of Michael, or whichever butt buddy of Jesus it was, I could only see the one true god.
It’s sad that former colonies are some of the most ardent believers in the Abrahamic lies.
I still can’t get over the fact that so many black people are neck deep into Christianity… The Bible was/is used to justify slavery and their ancestors were ripped from their home by Christians who saw them as sub human…
The diocese investigated itself and found nothing wrong.
There is nothing especially sad about it, all religions are equally good/bad.
That’s beside the point. I’m talking about the believers and their level of belief.
Seeing this meme then coming to the comments section to see this posted within 15 minutes. What can I say, it feels like I’m finally home.
Darn, you beat me to it.
I miss him.
I’m glad he went when he did because he’d be disappointed to see us today.
