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):
The sun is probably the closest thing we’ll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here-
- Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient
- Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long
- Further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths
- Non-humanoid shape floating through space; colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion
- Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of its stillborn children
- People used to sacrifice other people to appease it
- Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes
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.
Better than burning "witches" alive.
That's basically the reason I have a massive sun tattoo taking up my entire right shoulder
