Yet another Miracle of the Sun.

If you look at APOD every day (like me), the astronomers (both professionals), post these types of events regularly:

This is more of a miracle of the earthly atmosphere than a miracle of the sun.

They SAY it's melting ice crystals but we all know it's god sending yet another obscure message for his followers to interpret differently, argue about, and start wars over.

The message is not in the sky. The message is in the Christians looking at it. The message is “Christians are stupid, I disown them!”

Oh, there could be so many explanations on this but, as usual, you close minded atheists have the most boring one. I really pitty you. No wonder you're so depressed.

Now, with the real explanations:

This could be one of Virgo Mary's miracles considering she likes to make Sun dance in the sky like Fatima miracle.

Maybe it's the famous alien The Black Knight satellite (witnessed by so many credible people) sending signals to humans trying to communicate.

Maybe it is the end of firmament and we can actually see the foundations of heaven of the flat Earth mentioned in the Bible.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Obviously, it's a refracted atmospheric image of the distant city lights and has nothing to do with the sun.

Your hypothesis is at least testable.

Develop a god bar code scanner, message received. They'll know exactly what they have to pay.

They all pay with their lives.
