Atheists, how many of you would believe in Cthulhu before believing in God?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu

Answer 1

To the tune Hark the Herald

Hark! the nameless cultists sing, ``Glory to our dreaming King,
Deep beneath the ocean waves, dreaming in his wat'ry grave.
Soon the stars will all be right, usher in eternal night!
When Cthulhu comes to reign, things here 'bouts won't be the same!''
Hark! the namesless cultists sing, ``Glory to our dreaming King!''

Cthulhu whose name strikes fear, speaks to those whose souls can hear:
Late at night an artist dreams, wakes up with an awful scream.
Then in clay his visions mold, pretty outre so I'm told.
Visions of a scene from Hell, near impossible to sell.
Hark! the nameless cultists sing, ``Glory to our dreaming King!''

Hark! the Great One's Priestly Son, Hail or you will be undone.
Death and pain to most he brings, Ris'n with darkness in His wings.
Waked at last no more to lie, proof that death itself may die,
Born to crush the human race, wipe them out and leave no trace.
Hark! the nameless cultists sing, ``Glory to our dreaming King!''

Answer 2

Not even Lovecraft believed in his so called gods. Great stories, though. I still get a chill reading, or seeing the movie of, "The Call of Cthulhu"

Answer 3

Cthulhu is awesome! But, still don't believe in any gods, though my sister and I did hailed Crom at Thanksgiving. This was in response to an inappropriate Christian prayer at our Pagan household where most of the guests were not Christian.

Answer 4

I'm pagan, and I do reserve a tiny corner of my altar for the tentacle-faced one, just in case. Hopefully he was not insulted by the protrayal of Davey Jones as a squid-face in the new Pirates movie!
Cthulhu ftagn!

Answer 5

Ahh, the Dark Gods of Lovecraft. I loved his work (especially the rats in the walls) but I do not believe that Cthulu or any of that mythos ever existed, nor do I believe in a Christian God.

Answer 6

Now that you mention it, Cthulhu's appendages are fairly noodly.
