It’s just sitting there, thinking about whether to incinerate us now ... or later.
(Animistic Universe anyone?)
You know, I just watched a movie on cable the other night, Stardust, which used the same meme that Madeleine LEngle introduced in Wrinkle - namely the idea of a star [in this case, Claire Danes's character], which has fallen to earth and must live as a human [sort of a dead star as fallen angel theme].
It's an interesting idea, here, though - that God might actively interfere with the fusion in the Sun and turn it up or turn it down depending upon His pleasure or displeasure with His children.
PS: If it weren't for the pervasive sodomy in the movie, Stardust would actually be kinduva nice story.
Let's hope it does it at night.
