No sunshine?

Tall shit in all directions. There used to be some but they put up new stuff.

Eugh.

Yeah it's annoying. So we have this flowerpot and nothing in it. Except Katin.

I have a religion! It's kind of sun-focused! I am having completely irrelevant negative reactions to the concept of you being deprived of sunlight on top of the relevant ones!

How does a religion be focused on the sun?

It's not even the same one.

Our religions work really differently than yours.

I guess they'd have to!

Because we don't have the pollution thing?

So they can incorporate suns.

Ah. Yeah. It's a little more complicated than that.

Oh?

So alien religions mostly revolve around these things called "gods," which are powerful entities that may or may not care how you conduct your life and may or may not offer an afterlife for good behavior. There's no contemporary proof either way on whether or not they actually exist but a lot of religions claim there used to be.

That's kinda funky.

Kinda.

where does the sun come in?

In my religion we have only one God and they're primarily manifested as the sun.

I guess if you are a powerful entity you might decide to be a sun if you were into being on fire?

Quite possibly!

If I were a god I wouldn't be a sun. Except I don't know what I'd be instead so maybe I actually would eventually settle on being a sun.

Some people think gods aren't real and we just made them up to get answers to things like "how did the world happen" back when we didn't have enough magic to give us answers that didn't involve people with superpowers making it on purpose. I dunno if that's true or not, the neat thing about my religion is that the sun definitely exists whether it's a god or not, if gods aren't real you can go "oh, okay" and continue appreciating the fact that we have sunshine and plants and stuff.

And if you go to a place with a different sun you also go "oh, okay" and appreciate that aliens have sunshine and plants and stuff too?

Empirically pretty much yeah. We haven't been doing like a ton of religious stuff here or anything, a lot of it involves getting together with other people and there are not other people of our religion here and also we have been busy, but, like, religious stuff we haven't been doing includes having some kind of existential crisis over the fact that this isn't our sun, so.

It's a pretty serviceable sun. Rises in the morning and sets at night.

If your days were four times as long as ours like your years are we might be having trouble! But they are not.
