there is no good evidence that it is not conscious
incredible line of reasoning, just foolproof logic right there

The sun is an eldrich horror and constantly screaming into the void in ways that both sustain us and kill us. While we can't prove it isn't conscious we should try to kill it anyway just to be sure.

Medieval peasants were smarter than this
no evidence that it is not
positivists in shambles
People will go to amazing lengths to justify tanning their butthole.
Imagine sunbathing the one place on your body that's quite literally biologically evolved to not get sunbathed.
Imagine getting basal cell carcinoma on your forbidden strip
forbidden strip

I want to look and feel my best, that's all the justification I need
T-T-T-TAINT TANNING
if only I could be so grossly incandescent
There's no documented evidence of the little rock troll that lives in my colon and flattens my turds either but i know he's there.
If your turds are always flat, it might be time for a colonoscopy
They are not but thank you for the concern

Marble bust guys will see this and be like 
, but try telling them capital is an inhuman malevolent pseudo-intelligence and see how fast you hear the words "econ 101"
Listen I'm on board but you're gonna have to tell me how you think the sun communicates its wishes
Esoteric fascism. It's the myth of the noble savage, but white people are the noble savage this time.
White supremacists are doing all the things they make fun of both indigenous and black people for doing, but it's classy because whites are doing it.
If an indigenous person says they worship the sun with a straight face, they're a "dumb savage". If a white person claims their white ancestry makes them a magical demigod, we're all supposed to take that seriously or risk being socially ostracized for being 'woke'.
nah nah nah im just asking for the method of communication. like how do we know what it wants us to do. what language does it speak? if there's a big solar flare did we piss it off or did we make it happy

Unironically more rational than most religions, no? At least he's trying to interact with something that's actually there.
The sun is definitely the most rational thing to worship in general. It literally gives us life. With the exception of some really deep sea life, pretty much all energy used to sustain life on Earth ultimately comes from sunlight.
But thinking the sun is conscious is pretty dumb.

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

Everyone online is trying to outdo each other in saying the most insane shit.
Honestly, I think the left should double down on its "I fucking love science" branding. Of course they're going to call us nerds for believing in science, those idiots think they have superpowers and that they need to sacrifice women or else the magic will be sad.
That, and Soviet scientific aesthetics go hard.

What no vegetables does to a mf
It demands blood.
I will sacrifice a filet of fish to the sun.
But even if you could communicate with the sun, why would the sun want to communicate with you? A little flesh blob filled with those gross heavier elements instead of much nicer hydrogen and helium?
This is something I've never understood about all this woo pseudo-pagan "mother gaia" type stuff, why would the earth itself, or the sun or universe or whatever, care about a single tiny person within it?

Yeah, sure, I can stare at it and it can give me cancer. That's an interaction.
[We're in fuckin 1320 motherfucker, you are a serf. Bitch, you live in Alsace. You are a peasant. You need to give your fucking lord the grain.
Your fucking children? You've had 15 children. You've never taken a bath. You've, literally, never washed your penis. You've never used toilet paper. Motherfucker, you have worms. You are dying. You've had 40 children; three of them are alive. Two of them are child soldiers in the Duke's army. Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the ripe age of 36. You fucking can't read. You don't know what TV is. You are literally, if you are transported to today, the worst gamer of all time. You don't know shit. You literally probably don't know what the direction left is.
I'm sure some medieval guy is gonna get mad at me. Bitch, I've been to the renaissance fair. I have eaten a large turkey wing (which the juggalos call 'bitch beaters'; which I think is problematic but a funny thing to call them). Motherfucker, you gotta recognise where you are and then you gotta get past that. You gotta be unemotional and, I know I'm not being a great display of that myself, but you gotta. You can't sink into this hole. You live in the oubliette, you need to climb up that ladder motherfucker. You live in the hole! You're in the hole! You are a rat, and a rat when he's in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole. You know what, you need to eat a body and you need to carry the plague. You need to carry a plague around this whole world that will change this whole fucking world and all your enemies will vomit black bile and they will choke on blood and grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other rats and you come up with some kind of super plague to fucking end your enemies and end this nightmare.](https://soundcloud.com/distantdreamz/were-in-fuckin-1320-motherfucker)
statue twitter having a normal one
"Why not worship the ctan" -people about to have a bad time
How does a human brain get like this?
sun worship is fairly logical, it's a real material thing that provides benefits and you plan your life around.
the 'it's conscious and wants to communicate with me' is just how we get the haruspex

My friend's ex-wife stares at the sun for extended periods because there's a conspiracy telling us not to do that and she's going to get to the bottom of it and unlock her glaucoma chakra or something.

Dude probably has delusions caused by meat sweats and constipation
taking care not to eat the sun because i'm vegan
“Interacting” with the sun is just skin cancer, especially for mayos.
