Some things never change

Ezekiel 8:16-18
And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.

Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

Except this isn’t worshiping the sun, this is a tradition thanking God for His creation, the sun is simply a time keeper in a sense, for this day of remembrance, not much different than a calendar showing Christmas every year.

Yes, and clearly blessing God for your dinner is worshipping your hamburger.
