Cthulhu For President! …but, how about as your personal god-friend?
Hail Arwaaasaasawsawasaass! While being a mindless, slithering, mass of oblivion and destruction may feel like a breath of fresh air in the arena of world politics, the same cannot be said for the candidate you choose as a god for your personal religion. Peace and relief from stress for constituents are not on the agenda bullet points for politicians, but consider these essential components to a religion in which you are the sole constituent.
Insanity & Slavery
Dealing with Great Older Ones such as Nyarlathotep and Cthulhu will likely generate stressors that push you well beyond the brink of sanity. On the other hand, Politicians will leave you penniless and in the gutter, but at least you’ll still have your wits about you. Sure you may be a battery, generating energy and consuming products, but your capacity to suffer will remain intact. Your ability to fight back, break free from, and alter ‘business as usual’ also will remain intact.
The construction of your spiritual reality can have an impact on your approach to dealing with situations in which you find yourself. A god who will leave you a blathering, nonsensical idiot whose skin turns pale as the moon and who craves human flesh will not help in these matters.
Seeking Spiritual Comfort
Finding a god you can grow and enjoy your life with is recommended. This can help you cope, in some ways, with everyday life and the rules and regulations in which you find yourself imprisoned. One smiling politico may happily issue sustenance cards you can use to purchase your government approved allocation of fat, carbohydrate, and protein grams. Her colleague across the aisle will free you of this, stripping away regulations so that vast amounts of chemicals and sewage may spew, without restraint, into your immediate environment. Either way, they are merely representatives of the people. They do not posses the god-powers of your deity.
Halleluiah!
