kind of fails at "there's no evidence it ain't"
YMMV on the interaction part. The sun acts on you pretty regularly, not sure I act on the sun much
It's still complete nonsense to talk to it, but if you've got to pick a god there's not really a better choice than the titanic ball of fire in the sky that deeply affects pretty much all aspects of life on our planet.
yeah but you don't gotta
you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to the sun”
Unless it is
There's also the much smaller ball of rock that deeply affects many aspects of life but doesn't give you cancer, there is the air that permeates everything the vast majority of humans interact with (and we can only survive for minutes without), there is the ocean from which we came, get food, and travel on, and also just the planet itself or the earthy bits specifically, which are the literal foundation of all human existence (fuck seasteading). I'm just saying you have other choices that are p valid.
you do tug on it a lil bit as far as gravity goes, i think. like about as much as it tugs on you. its just that the earth tugs way harder cause you're so much closer to it
