>source of all life>is always there >actually visible >without it, there is nothing To me it makes more sense than any religion, and it's something the entirety of mankind could easily get behind.
>>18575158the sun literally blinds you if you look at it for too long and is responsible for deadly heatwaves that kill thousands
Because actively worshiping a massive sphere of hydrogen and helium would seem like a waste of time to most people. Why bother? The sun won't care.
>>18575160The sun doesn't like being stared at and will punish you for it. No less ridiculous than destroying a city because everyone there fucks eachother in the ass.
>>18575160So like an eldritch god
>>18575158You don't know what the titans were, or what the greek gods that supplanted them were, or how that all got subsumed into Christianity 2k years ago.
>>18575169The whole city was full of wrist-flicking fags that reeked of poop/lube, had AIDS, walked around with their prolapses hanging out, and groomed little boys. It was perfectly justified to destroy it.
>>18575158I worshiped the sun for 3 months. I wrote over 50 poems solely about the sun while sungazing and chanting the gayatri mantra daily. I'm not sure what came over me or why it stopped.Sun worship only isn't popular recently in the last thousand years. All religions originated from sun worship. That's why the Egyptians had nearly every one of their gods associated with the sun in some way. >>18575160>the sun literally blinds you if you look at it for too longSo do multiple gods, such as Zeus, and Yahweh kills you if you look at his face>>18575161>The sun won't carepeople pray their entire lives daily to Yahweh, Jesus and Allah and get literally nothing from it.
>>18575180also by the way sungazing is literally addictive. you only can't look at the sun at noon. near dusk and dawn staring at the sun is straight up irresistible once you try it.
Sun worship is primitive. Look up the difference between aten and amun, also the reasons that led to the reserval of worship.
Whats next, are you gonna bow down to wood? To fire? To the ashes left? Lol. Theres only one thing that made those things and it also made you.
>>18575158You can always find the sun, there's no reason for evolution to create an instinct around that. Volcanoes however...
>>18575160Sounds godlike
>>18575180>and get literally nothing from it.And you got 50 poems. Amazing.
>>18575158>>18575161>>18575174>>18575180>>18575278>Why isn't sun worship popular?Because we are not fucking neolithic cavemen. We know what the sun is. We know it's not a person. There is actually someone mentally wrong with you people.
>>18575298But how would feel if you hadn't eaten breakfast this morning?
>>18575305I don't understand. What is the hypothetical I am not picking up on here? Or are you just mindlessly parroting a meme you saw but didn't understand?
>>18575158Psalm 136: 7-9 God is the creator of the sun. What kind of man are you? A middle one.
>>18575310>What is the hypothetical I am not picking up on here?The entire OPs premise is a hypothetical anon. He's asking why we haven't seen sun worship more often throughout history, he's not asking you to worship the sun
>>18575315No, anon, that's not what he's asking. You must be new here. He is literally asking why people today don't worship the sun. >no there's no way he actually means thatYes I promise you he does actually mean that.
>>18575317You are insanely autistic
>>18575322I get it. You don't believe it. You think they're speaking metaphorically or taking the piss or something. They're not. They're actually just caveman brained.
>>18575158Things that are predictable don't get worshipped. Even the lowliest illiterate peasant farmer knows when the sun will rise and when it will set, and that it will do that forever and ever and ever and ever. It will never rise early if he prays to it. It will never rise late if he curses it. It simply is. The mundane makes atheists of us all.
>>18575226it is primitive, but if anything makes sense to worship, it’s the sun. >>18575298should people be worshipped? people can’t see God and surely most of them know deep down that it does not even exist. they still go through the song and dance anyway
>>18575158Ancient people tended to pay the most attention to the gods that caused them the most problems.Poseidon became a major deity after the Minoan civilization was destroyed by a tsunami. They probably thought "that guy doesn't fuck around, better sacrifice a goat"
>>18575160The answer is that it simply isn't sufficiently anthropomorphic. People want their gods to have human characteristics so that the god can be persuaded, tricked, and better understood to appease. The sun is a burning disk that blinds you for looking at it. People want a person up there.>and is responsible for deadly heatwaves that kill thousandsThat doesn't stop yahweh worship.
>>18575317OP here, you're fucking retarded.
>>18575298>we're not stupid cavemen! we're better than that!>*prays to dead jew for the 10037363th time after another school shooting.*
>>18575158>Why isn't sun worship popular?Wrong question.>Why worship to made up entities still popular?Correct question.
>>18575385>Ancient people tended to pay the most attention to the gods that caused them the most problems.To add to that, solar gods were at the top of the respective pantheons in regions that were very hot, where the intensity of the sun could kill you or ruin you financially.Prime examples are Egypt with the god Ra and pre-islamic Arabia with the goddess Shams/Nuha.
>>18575493OP here, no he's not
>>18575158It’s idolatry, I will worship the God who created it instead of the creation
>>18575393Yahweh isn’t responsible for deadly heatwaves, the sinners that die in them are.
>>18575158Sun-worshippers clearly don't have the favor of the God(s). Athenism failed, Auerlian's Sol cult failed, Julian the Apostate's Neoplatonist Helios-worship failed, Saura Hinduism dwindled and became a tiny sub-cult of Shiva-worship.
>You can't worship the sun. That's caveman retarded!>instead you should worship Yeshua, son of Miriam, the circumcised rabbi of Nazareth, as the Mashiac.
>>18575633Agreed
>>18575633This, but unironically. Sun-worshippers always get rekt.
>>18575633Did the sun reason with you? Nothing else to say, dumbass. Keep postrating yourself face down towards the sun, lol.
>>18575298>We know what the sun is. We know it's not a person.Nigga you think a ficticious magic sky rabbi's breath is a person.
>>18575639The sun provides life. What does god™ do again?
>>18575647Did Yahweh?
>>18575169>>18575179If you're talking about Sodom and Gomorrah, then it's because they were all asshole rapists that had no regard for sacred hospitality.It wasn't simply because people there took it up the ass
>>18575721Duh, Jesus came and spoke.13 Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a]17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. 18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.[b] 23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. 24 For,“All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;the grass withers and the flowers fall,25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”And this is the word that was preached to you.
6There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.9The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.15(John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”) 16Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and b is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.
>>18575158I interpret the Sun as a symbol of God the Father in a non-pagan manner for the exact reasons you listed.So not direct sun worship but as a symbol of God.
>>18575298Worshipping something that you dont really know what it is and cant see and that there is no physical evidence of seems a lot dumber than worshipping one of the reasons life exists on Earth
>>18575976>worshipping one of the reasons life exists on EarthDid the sun come about by itself? Is it eternal? Nothing you can see is eternal, thus your take is the most midwit thing I've read all day. Hurr durr
>>18575158Napoleon once said that if he had to worship a God it would be the Sun.Many cultures (most, actually) associate the Sum with divinity. Even Christianity uses solar motifs. Ever seen those big host receptacles Catholics have?
>>18575158This is a question for a window licker who has to wear a bicycle helmet indoors.
>>18575158Because thanks to modern science we now know that the sun is actually just a ball of hot plasma and has no sapience or will and can't exactly heed your prayers
>>18575315>He's asking why we haven't seen sun worship more often throughout history, he's not asking you to worship the sunThen him (and you) are both even more retarded than previously thought since sun worship was indeed a nigh-universal aspect of historical human cultures everywhere in the world
Worship our true sun instead.
>>18575158because science has proven our star is a faggot wimp star and there's literally billions and billions and billions of other stars who do it better AND half a dozen better types of starsnow if we were orbiting a supermassive black hole like in interstellar that would be worthy of worship
>>18576211>not as big = worse at sustaining life You're not too bright aren't you
For me, its worshiping the concept of big tiddies
We live in the era where Venus is worshiped insteadHoping it'll end in my lifetime, it sucks so bad
If we lived in the era of Venus/Aphrodite, incels and femcels would be they first going to tartarus for insulting her entire existence by not getting laid
>>18575158Because in the past people recognized the truth of geocentrism. Why worship a satellite?
>gives you skin cancergee thanks god I only wanted to BE IN YOUR GENERAL VISCINITY BUT NOOOOOO
>>18575179>that reeked of poop/lube, had AIDS, walked around with their prolapses hanging out, and groomed little boysso when is God going to rain hell on the vatican
>>18575298>We know what the sun is. We know it's not a person. But it's still alive.https://www.starlarvae.org/Star_Larvae_The_Stellar_Organism.html
>>18575158First century christians historically gathered before sunrise to pray and worship Jesus as God as the sun rose. Something they still do today in places like Brazil.
