This is what is wrong with modern society. I take a train downtown and no inner city kid is worshiping the sun. Our leaders no longer cut out the hearts of their enemies as tribute.

A good solar flare/EMP or six ought to do it. Right back to the stone ages

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 months ago

If that helps curb the chance of nuclear apocalypse I'd take solar flare stone age apocalypse. Would still suck, but in a different way.

This guy gets it!

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 30 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it's like, dude? The Sun is real.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We really could use a little George Carlin right about now... And Joe Pesci, just to be safe.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Damn dude, you made me think Joe Pesci was dead. Still kicking at 81 years of age.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Nah, just a living legend.

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean? We've begun the greatest construction of sun obelisks in the history of humankind? There everywhere, people come knocking on your door wanting to mount them on your roof for free.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago

Even though it gives us cancer! ( The sun not the panels).

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

God's existence: No physical proof

Sun's existence: Just look up

this is why y'all should praise the sun

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Instructions unclear, now blind because I didn't have a "look away from sun" step to follow.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 17 points 6 months ago

We never stopped.

If only I could be so grossly incandescent

Our leaders no longer cut out the hearts of their enemies as tribute.

Ok, on it!

[–] Marty_TF@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Is it still the sun or merely a flaming ball of gas illuminating the world?

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It's not gas, you silly fuck, it's a miasma of incandescent plasma 🎶.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I say it's a miasma of incandescent plasma of peace, you chowderhead (ง'̀-'́)ง

Okay, you asked for it, Boggs ᕦ( ● 益 ● )ᕤ 💥

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

YOU NEED TO BELIEVE IN THINGS THAT AREN'T TRUE. HOW ELSE CAN THEY BECOME?

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

flaming ball of gas illuminating the world?

Back in my day we called the sun "the sun". You ding dang 40 year old millennial kids and your darn pronouns!!!!

What's next, Pluto not being a planet?

It only stops being magical if you let cynicism win.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 7 points 6 months ago

See this is part of why I'm an atheist. I refuse to believe any God exists that's dumber than Gary Gygax.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Without the sun we'd all be dead. I also hate cold weather & feel so much better with some sunshine. I'm surprised we don't have more people that pray & give thanks to the sun.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Because people like me are praying for cold rainy weather and I think there's more of us.

[–] HerrVorragend@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)
[–] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 6 months ago

I don't hate the sun, I just don't want to see it or feel it at any part of the year.

[–] polle@feddit.org 5 points 6 months ago

Because it would make sense and religion isn't about that.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Shuddup Sun! The world does not revolve around you!

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)
[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

If the sun accepted your prayer as worthy you would be spared.

[–] Allonzee@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Has the sun tried threatening potential converts?

Works gangbusters for for the most popular religions.

Hell, they usually steal the sun's defining characteristic to threaten followers with: 🔥🔥🔥.

Love me some Sunshine!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Probably burning us all to death.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

i have been to stone henge for the winter solstice

i did my part

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We wouldn’t exist without the sun. It provides the energy we need to grow our food, and even to power our technology. Its existence is blatantly obvious. It answers prayers at about the same 50% rate as any other god. Just looking directly at the thing can harm you.

If I had to worship something, it’s certainly a very practical option.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

The sun forced me to pay rent!

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

Another one of these, but maybe bigger, would probably do the trick.

[–] sol6_vi@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago
