The sun is billions of years old, unimaginably powerful, and it makes life on Earth possible. Sounds pretty godlike to me.
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):
It may wipe out all life on Earth at any moment with the equivalent of a fart and not notice.
Ok im sold. Praise the sun!
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?
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.

Better than burning "witches" alive.
That's basically the reason I have a massive sun tattoo taking up my entire right shoulder
