Here is an interesting article about H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulu mythology.

He was a self proclaimed atheist and his fiction was always meant for entertainment. There is plenty of writing, from his own hand, that explains that his characters are fictional, and that there are no gods.

...and yet, people have started to form cults around his characters.

You don't always have to try to fool people. Most of the time, they do it to themselves.

No thanks; flying spaghetti monster is the only weird deity I need.

A commercial for the Necronomicon and it's positive transformative powers.

Just finished today.

Can you name that pantheon?

There's Jesus, some Rakshaza, an indian god, Thor(with a spear?), Asian god, boobs, Cthulu, Ceasar, Zeus, a Djinni, Osiris, some Voodoo dude, then Superman. And some green hitler looking kid under the table.

I'll drop the pantheon list in a day or so.

"Boobs" was not the god in question. All of these are depicted with their accoutrement as much as i could find, that includes standing on top of green Hitler looking dudes, or holding a spear and being accompanied by a raven.

All are gods and not human, or god-kings.

That is a great image.
