Does cthulhu approve of heterosexuality?

I have recently decided to convert to ctulhu-ism, and my bible, the Necronomicon seems to have a problem with heterosexual couplings.

I think it's time for an amendment banning them. After all, it's in the BIBLE, and everybody should obey MY BIBLE!

1. Cthulhu does not care who you marry or have sex with

All are equal in Cthulhu's eyes. Gay or straight, black or white, short or tall, we are all just snacks to the great one.

7. Finally, a funny religion thread

2. LOL

3. The fact that this thread will probably be moved proves my point

They'll probably move it to the lounge. But if you replace the ctulhu stuff with "Jesus" it would get to stay in GD (rather than being moved to a religion room where it belongs)

The mere fact that Xians are the majority means for some reason that their superstition is given more deference than ALL others.

17. SEE!?

ONLY Christian posts are taken seriously.

4. Of course!

Without occasional het couplings, there could be no new munchies for Cthulhu!

5. No, but Shub-Niggurath does

After all, he's the black goat with a thousand young:9

6. Just to be clear -

I know absolutely NOTHING about ctulhu, or any other demon/deity/whatever. I just picked some obscure supernatural being at random for the sake of the poll, just in case people who actually know something about "ctulhu" want to start spouting trivia - I won't know what you're talking about!

You'll be stuck in Yog-Sotthoth for a miserable eternity.

12. a bit on Cthulhu...

From the Chaosium website (they have a role-playing game based on Cthulhu...

>>>... Lovecraft wrote during the 1920s and 1930s, and he became a cult figure before dying in 1937. Since then his stature as an author has grown, and now he is generally recognized as the major American horror-story writer of the twentieth century. His fiction ranges from pure science fiction to gothic horror. His non-fiction includes a history of Quebec, the commentary Supernatural Horror in Literature, and a gigantic correspondence (five volumes of his letters have been issued by Arkham House publishers).

Author-publisher August Derleth coined the term "Cthulhu Mythos", but the commonality of plot and suggestion behind the term remains an enduring monument to Lovecraft. A series of his stories share as elements certain diabolical entities (especially the Great Old Ones) and books of arcane lore and great power, first among them the ghastly Necronomicon. The Cthulhu Mythos is named after a god-like entity, Cthulhu (kuh-THOO-loo is the easiest, though not the best way to say it). Many Great Old Ones, Cthulhu included, are prophesied to wake and to lay waste to the world "when the stars are right".

These tales fired the imagination of other authors, mostly protégés and friends of Lovecraft, and soon they were adding to his mythology. Today, Cthulhu stories are still being written by heirs to Lovecraft's literary legacy.

9. All are prey to the flabby tentacles of the spawn of R'lyeh!!

Cthulhu devours all without regard to sexual preference.

10. Eris will cast Cthulhu into the manure pit of the Invisible Pink Unicorn

Of course, knowing Cthulhu, he will probably like it.

The world's first industrial religion.

The Church of the Subgenious makes more sense than all other organized religions put together. Plus, their devivals are incredibly fun to attend.

i am always impressed with how you handle yourself AZ, keep up the good work, i appreciate the way you approach discussion.

of course this thread is not one of those threads, but i been meaning to say something to you for a while now, so here it is. keep up the good work sir, you are obliviously very careful about how you approach and phrase ideas/arguments.

something tells me you might be a discordian pope?

[Az]

20. Thanks

And yes, I have wandered through the pages of Principia Discordia.

The big questions in life affect everyone. But our society has become so fixed on specific claims that it is difficult for some to look out the window (so to speak) and see what other possibilities there are. I do not oppose differing opinions as much as I oppose the walls that seperate them.

14. there you go, mocking Cthulhu

How about a little respect for worshippers of Cthulhu? You angry atheists are all the same.

16. Thanks for the laugh

Just a reminder that at the end of the day, no matter where we stand on these controversial issues, we're all still food for Cthulu.

18. the Necronomicon is fiction made up by

opium addicts. My favorite fake of the so called original is the one supposedly bound in human skin.

[Westegg]

23. I, too, am a fake bound in human skin.

Hey! I just realized that!

Have a good Friday, y'all.

21. What is the Necronomicon?

http://www.digital-brilliance.com/necron/necron.htm

The Necronomicon of Alhazred, (literally: "Book of Dead Names") is not, as is popularly believed, a grimoire, or sorcerer's spell-book. It was conceived as a history, and hence "a book of things now dead and gone". An alternative derivation of the word Necronomicon gives as its meaning "the book of the customs of the dead", but again this is consistent with the book's original conception as a history, not as a work of necromancy.
The author of the book shared with Madame Blavatsky a magpie-like tendency to garner and stitch together fact, rumour, speculation, and complete balderdash, and the result is a vast and almost unreadable compendium of near-nonsense which bears more than a superficial resemblance to Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine.
The Necronomicon was written in Damascus in 730 A.D. by Abdul Alhazred.
Why did the novelist H.P. Lovecraft claim to have invented the Necronomicon?

Why did the novelist H.P. Lovecraft claim to have invented the Necronomicon?
The answer to this interesting question lies in two people: the poet and magician Aleister Crowley, and a Brooklyn milliner called Sonia Greene. There is no question that Crowley read Dee's translation of the Necronomicon in the Bodleian, probably while researching Dee's papers; too many passages in Crowley's "Book of the Law" read like a transcription of passages in that translation. Either that, or Crowley, who claimed to remember his life as Edward Kelly in a previous incarnation, remembered it from his previous life!
Why doesn't Crowley mention the Necronomicon in his works? He was surprisingly reticent about his real sources. There is a strong suspicion that '777', which Crowley claimed to have written, was largely plagiarised from Allan Bennet's notes. His spiritual debt to Nietzsche, which in an unguarded moment Crowley refers to as "almost an avatar of Thoth, the god of wisdom" is studiously ignored; likewise the influence of Richard Burton's "Kasidah" on his doctrine of True Will.

22. This Thread Was Moved From The Lounge To The Lounge??

This makes no sense.

24. Of course he does.

The Great Old One approves of heterosexuality, as it produces more human offspring for the Elder Gods to drive to madness and eat.

[TXlib]

25. I'm having Cthushi for lunch...

[slappypan]

26. Cthulhu makes this quite clear

Marriage is to be defined only as between a man and a tentacled sea-creatures that swims up onto dry land from the cyclopean depths.
