Cthulhu (pronounced "Khlûl'hloo" or "Kathooloo") (Other spellings: Kutulu, Ktulu, Cthulu, Kthulhut, Thu Thu, Tulu) is a fictional Pre-Judeo-Christian deity/demon variously described as a "sleeping" or "dreaming" in the works of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]. Cthulhu sleeps in the sunken city of R'lyeh and when the stars are right, will reawaken ushering in the destruction of humanity, including the beating of Jesus and the devouring of Mary.

As of 2005 some correlation has been proposed (1) between the symbology of the mythos and both the Christian devil [[Satan]] and [[creation science]] in Christianity: in the stories the being Cthulhu corrupts creatures from God and turns their worship inward, on their own bodies, with horrific results (2); furthermore, many of the tales in the mythos feature the triumph of the supernatural over established science (3). It should be recognized, however, that Lovecraft was an avowed athiest and that the symbology is likely coincidental.

'''H. P. Lovecraft''', also known as Jesus, (@1-@30ish AD) was an American author of fantasy and horror tales.

His most famous work, The Gospel, was written at least four times after Lovecraft flew away to Heaven to be with his father, who was also himself. These four variants were written by people who historically had no idea what they were talking about, and, although disagreeing on certain events, overshadowed the original volume and jointly became the canonical version of the story. Although fiction, The Gospel has been taken very seriously indeed, occasionally inspiring patriotic fanatics to create internet encyclopedias to secretly exert bias on a suppository of supposed "knowledge".

H.P. Lovecraft, in addition to his writing, was known for his magic tricks, including raising his friend Lazarus from the dead and reading the mind of his long-time friend and member of his support staff, Judas, who would later betray him. Despite his foreknowledge of this betrayal and his consequential death, Jesus Lovecraft did not act to prevent his own crucifixion. It is widely held that this was because independant studies have found that being nailed to a piece of wood absolves humanity of its sins.

After his untimely demise, Lovecraft of Nazareth allegedly dug his way out of his grave and visited the few people who would be most likely to make up a false story about his ressurection, and leaving Earth before this story could be verified by an independant witness. "Doubting" Thomas (later also known as "the Tank Engine") claims to have not believed Jesus had come alive, but changed his mind when he saw Lovecraft appear before him. This last piece of evidence has been attacked as "dubious" because Thomas was one of the group most likely to make up such a story to make the whole resurrection seem more believable.

'''H. P. Lovecraft''' (1890-1937) was an American author of fantasy and horror tales. Although often portrayed as a horror writer, his famous "Cthulhu Mythos" is, in fact, a disguised allegory for the Christian faith. Cthulhu himself, as portrayed in his masterpiece, "The Call of Cthulhu", represents Jesus Christ; Cthulhu, like Christ, was sent to Earth, but then crucified (though Cthulhu was actually banished to a city hidden under the sea). Cthulhu, like Christ, awaits a time when he can return to save humanity.

Lovecraft's novel "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath", while full of strange and often incompresensible imagery, is a retelling of Bunyon's "Pilgrim's Progress". The hero of the novel, Randolph Carter, embarks on a strange journey through a series of philosophical doctrines, including Buddhism and atheism, symbolized by various monsters and strange cities. It is only at the very end when Carter realizes that the true faith of his own American heritage, Christianity, is the only way for him to "wake up" from the nightmare of false doctrine.

Many scholars claim that Lovecraft was an atheist with no supporting evidence for their claim. In reality, Lovecraft denied the theory of evolution and relativity, recognizing them as the dangerous ideas that they were.
