But practicing a literary cult-religion based on an immortal deep sea horror, well it would definately make interesting conversation around the dinner table at my house.


As far as I understand a literary cult religion based on a immortal sky horror able to raze cities, send plagues to kill first borns and inundate all lands has been worshiped arround the world for long, long time.


Is it just me, or make saying it that way it more tempting ;)  :lol:

I didn't realise until today how important teapots were to opposing enforced religion.  :)

Time to put the kettle on.
