pointing straight at us.

How very Earth-centric

It is "pointing" at our general, huuuuge area of space.

I will believe something is "pointing directly at us" when Ocrazio-Cortex enrolls at MIT.

Oh noes! We’re all gonna die.....again!

You know, democrats have told me I’m gonna die probably 25 different times over the last 40 years… when’s it gonna end? I feel imma pass most likely at an antifa “rally” I accidentally stumble upon while wearing anything red. NOT climate related.

There was no “Eye of Sauron”, since Tolkien only used it as a metaphor. It was Peter Jackson that used it literally, and also incorrectly.

...located roughly 7.4 billion light-years away.

My fundamentalist Christian father always scoffed at seemingly impossible numbers like that because "according to the Bible" the universe could only be approximately 10,000 years old. If it took 7.4 Billions years for this light to reach earth, well...the implications are obvious. Can I be so bold to ask how Christians here deal with these kinds of facts? Just curious. (Flame suit /on)

Well, I may scoff a little, because it’s so far outside the a human being’s frame of reference.

When He made the stars He made streams of light extending the distance to the earth so that Adam could see the stars when he first looked up at night. Other wise how could he see stars initially? One possible explanation.

I'm not a "young Earth" Christian, so I tend to take the time intervals mentioned in the Bible in a more metaphorical sense than literal years as we know them.

However (BIG "however") the God that I believe in created the Universe out of Nothing in an instant, and sent unfathomable amounts of energy/matter flying in all directions to become the billions of galaxies each with billions of stars, stretching out over billions of light-years distance.

God can make space/time/distance to be whatever He pleases, and our human ability or inability to comprehend it is utterly irrelevant. "How do I deal with it?" Simple - I accept it as a characteristic of God's Universe that I cannot comprehend.

Am I so bold, so arrogant, that I claim to comprehend God? I think not.

I don’t find it terrifying. I think it is awesome.

Many just cling to 10K figure, thinking the the Bible is a technical manual of the Universe.

I don’t know. I was OK unit that 240 showed up. I mean, I can handle up to about 100, but after that it’s too spooky for me!
