Hi, nice article. Always very thoroughly written with sources, caveats and a nice balance between intuition and critical thinking. Appreciate it. On facebook you explained why worshipping Saturn is pagan, and pagan dieties are sub-source, and therefore contain darkness, and therefore not inherently positive to worship if I remember correctly. Is it the same with the sun? I read this and find it interesting, and I also again don't see what's wrong with the sun. The sun is nice. We need the sun. No sun no life. God has to have made the sun. Sunlight is healthy. Sunrises and sets are beautiful. I sometimes applaud the sun after a nice sunset. I'd say I have some reverence for the sun. But not exclusively. Just as a beautiful part of creation that I appreciate. It feels like appreciating creation is appreciating the creator. I don't feel I'm sun worshippping because its not central to my life, and I feel you mean that catholics place the sun at the top. Why is that bad? Is it because you replace source with sun and and give power falsely to not-the-most-high?
