“Those who worship the sun will say, "The sun has not risen for us." While they worship the sun that he makes rise on the good and the wicked, the sun that enlightens only the good has not risen for them. Therefore, they fashion new gods, each one as he wishes. Indeed, what would prevent the workshop of an erring heart…”
Augustine of Hippo, 5th c. — EXPOSITIONS OF THE PSALMS 80:14

5How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints!
