Oh come on, do you really believe that sun-worshipper propaganda crap? They've
been trying to hype the sun as the king of the sky ever since they put it up
there, when we all know it's no bigger than the moon. Get real man! The moon
was built first (which is why it's not burning any more these days), and
there's really no reason to give the sun any attention. It's just a poor copy
by the Japanese (which still brag with it on their national flag), envious of
the Arabs' achievement at building the moon.
