I don't know, but unlike God, you can pretty much see the sun most any day. So I think worshipping the thing you can see without needing any intervention is a better lifestyle.

All Praise The Sun! Praise The Sun!

You can see it. It makes all life on Earth possible. Its warm radiance drives away the darkness and cold of night. It doesn't judge you or take away its light based on some arbitrary rules set down by a guy in a funny hat. It's a damn sight better than most of the dieties we've made up over the centuries.

Praise Sol!

The sun is the reason for life on esrth. We call the earth mother so the sun is our father!

Have you tried turning off and back on again. I don't mean blocked service.

Again not blocked service. I mean full reset.

It's like saying you turned off the monitors.

Unfortunately, the shutdown procedure takes about 5 billion years. Also, the entire operating system is kept in volatile storage. So, once it loses power, restarting it requires reloading all of the storage from scratch. This would mean an extended outage and may have some impact on users who rely on its services. The potential impact to revenue generating activities is considered too great to allow a reboot at this time. We can reevaluate again next millennium.

Unfortunately worship is measured every 500 years or so. It's a real workshoping bitch.

This has become an IT, QA, and Marketing meeting. I'm out sick for two weeks.

The sun works in mysterious ways.

Just get an alien race to build a dyson sphere and supply everything with energy on demand to all earth based lifeforms.

Throw a flare our way to get our attention.
