Known for creatures like Cthulhu, Lovecraft’s stories and world patched together in them have taken a life of their own since his death, inspiring a cult-like following, reaching all the way into the world of Satanism and beyond.
It makes sense. Do you know what Jesus doesn’t have? Goddamn tentacles. If I was a kid and I opened up the Bible, and there was this kickass dude hanging on the cross that was super buff and had tentacle arms and was also immortal, and there’s a jetpack on Buff Tentacle Jesus, I would have been the number one Christianity kid in the entire city.
H.P. Lovecraft
But what’s especially wild about how people have taken the works of Lovecraft and the creatures within into the realm of something mystical is just how not down with that he would probably be. It even spawned something of a bogus religion scam industry for Lovecraft’s literary creation, the Necronomicon, where scammers have put forth fake versions of this already fake work since the 1940s. The obsessive following that has come from the work of someone that was super against obsessively following such ideas is the perfect level of irony to accompany a religion based on popular fiction.
I just can’t wait for the hardline sect of violent nihilists that finds something we all missed in the teachings of Mr. Rogers and brings that to the world.
Star Wars – Jediism
The Jedi here are real people that live their lives according to the principles of Jediism, the real Jedi religion and philosophy. Jedi followers, ministers, and leaders embrace Jediism as a real living, breathing religion and sincerely believe in its teachings. Jediism does not base its focus on myth and fiction but on the real life issues and philosophies that are at the source of myth. Whether you want to become a Jedi, are a real Jedi looking for additional training, or just interested in learning about and discussing The Force, we’re here for you.
