Good idea: Sun worship

by Brandon Tucker

Can someone explain to me when the majority of modern-day societies acquired enough evidence to determine God is in fact NOT The Sun?

In recent millenniums, humans have made faith entirely too complex. Though religion has helped bring hope and meaning to billions of lost souls, ideology has been the root of a majority of the world’s conflicts.

There were times in this world where humans would bow to the sun as it set and pray that it would arise in the morning. With no certainty The Sun would ever return, each morning was a precious gift.

Today, we take The Sun for granted. We’ve also been led to believe by scientists that the sun doesn’t have a soul. All it is, we’re told, is a perfectly-placed star. We’re also told it will burn for another 5 million years (suffice to say if we were told no one really has any idea how long the sun will be around, we probably wouldn’t pay our taxes).

Perhaps we haven’t recognized The Sun’s higher state of being because we are not advanced enough to recognize it. Maybe we’re so deadest on the fact God probably looks coincidentally akin to Santa Claus, speaks English and demands we don’t eat certain fruit that we don’t believe our maker is a different compound of matter.

All the nukes in the world wouldn’t be able to put a dent in the sun. Suffice to say that if the sun ever wanted to end our civilization, it could do so with its equivalent of a sneeze.

We should be fearing The Sun far more than any devil. The sun might not care if you covet your neighbor’s wife.

But it also never asks that you spend your weekend going door-to-door trying converting babysitters. The sun won’t scam us out of a paycheck, sexually abuse your kids or brainwash you into blowing yourself up on a bus.

That’s because the Sun doesn’t sweat the small stuff like sex, politics and economy. The sun only asks you to worry about your basic needs of existence, and keeping the beauty and uniqueness of Earth in tact.

Maybe if we tried to keep our pursuit as simple as the sun intended, life wouldn’t be so complicated.

So at the next U.N. meeting, leaders should all agree to do away with organized religions and revert back to the simplicity of sun worship (whose earthly form is of course Al Gore).
