Is there any real benefit besides being the last one devoured? It seems to me that I'd have a better time of it if I moved to Innsmouth and took up with the Esoteric Order of Dagon...lots of lovely gold from the ocean. I would have to marry a fish-man, though...

I just read all the other answers, and I'd guess that most of them have NO CLUE what this question is really about.
Personally, I'd go to Innsmouth and do the Order of Dagon, but only if I could become a Deep One myself. And I'm pretty sure Deep Ones worship Cthulhu as part of their pantheon so that would be two-for-one. In fact I have a quiz on my web site--"are you a child of the sea?"--to see if I can find any Deep One hybrids (link below).
As a Cthulhu worshiper and reader of esoteric Mythos tomes, you can except to learn to cast all sorts of spells and summon cool creatures like Mi-Go to do your bidding. You will become physically twisted (which you will also achieve from becoming a Deep One) and mentally insane, but really, isn't sanity over-rated? Look at all these other, logical answers, comparing the Big C to Jesus and explaining rationally that HPL "made up" Cthulhu. LOL. Whatever, people, you just keep right on believing that and living in your bubble!

Well since Cthulhu is a fictional god popularized in the pulp fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and others there is probably no difference from the fictional god(s) created by the writers of the bible/koran/book of Mormon etc etc etc.
It would be hilarious if in 1000 years people worship Cthulhu the same way they worship Christ today. Hilarious but just as sad.

Cthulhu is a fictitious character made up by a horror story writer named H.P. Lovecraft. So- same benefits as any other religion.

I totally under stand where your coming from. This is exactly the way I felt several years back. What I learned is that a religion could not meet my needs, but a relationship with Jesus Christ could. So now I have a relationship not a religion.

The benefits are what you make of them, just as the risks are. Be aware though that you are talking about being on the path of a chaos entity, and it ain't always an easy path. It can be frightening, it can be hard, and you will face ridicule and such. But if you're strong, it can be done.

Why bother worshiping anything or anyone if you haven't found satisfaction thus far? You probably won't be satisfied with Cthulhu or any other religion.

Cthulhu is a fictitious character just like Jesus. Worship reality and reason, they don't lie.

Cthulhu! Come on guys! No inventing new religions. I thought we agreed.

Cthulhu is more ancient than even our galaxy's existence. Our galaxy is simply a pile of his snot. When he finally reveals himself, he'll still kill you even if you worship him. But he is powerful! Fear the wrath of Cthulhu!!

The ability to say tongue twisters like Cthulhu?
