That's ALL sound sooo confusing...
all dis talk of sol, sun, Roman days...

It was then when Caesar and Jesus Christ time...


It's not the God of the Sun that the romans were worshipping...it was

the Sun of God...the Sol of God...the Son of God.

I understand how the confusion came about..but please get dis stuff
right!

dat star in the sky everyone was following is the sol.

God is the Light.

yous are mistaken the sun of god, or god of the son, it's the son of
God!

communists in the USA hemisphere..
