The sun might be God. God might not watch us at night.

About This Quote

In the African tribes, the sun was believed to be a deity. In fact, they believed that the sun was so important that it watched over them at night. Sometimes the sun was thought to be so powerful that it could even kill people. However, when the sun was not present, it was believed that God could not protect them from other evils in the world. What this meant is that when you are in darkness, you can never be certain if there is someone watching over you.
