Then He brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house. And behold, at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; the they were prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun.This is about as bad it it can get in blasphemy. Here these men are, literally outside the door to the temple, God's house. And not only have they put their backs to it, they are worshiping something God has made right there in front of him.
These people have decided that God is such an inconsequential thing that they're going to use His place to worship a physics demonstration. It has no awareness, no ability to control itself, much less anything else. It simply burns, and only avoids burning them by God's design. Yet they bow to it, thanking it for its warmth instead of the one who put it there, whose contact point is right behind them.
