Also, very few Mythos entities really nominally qualify for the title of deity. Even the Great Cthulhu is simply the most prominent member of his race. The only four that seem to be revered as actual deities would be Azathoth (who seems to be an embodiment of chaos, entropy, and destruction), Yog-Sothoth (time, space, and parallel dimensions), Shub-Niggurath (fertility, fecundity, and mutation), and Nyarlathotep (the only entity that takes anything resembling an interest in humanity, also the only one that seem to have some sort of goal, as indiscernible as that goal might be).
But even those four could simple be said to be exceedingly powerful alien entities, as far above the lesser beings like Great Cthulhu as he is above us.

I don't think anyone could prove anything to you matt given your mindset.You'll never be convinced even if Allah Himself appeared to you face to face and demostrated His might, you'd only convince yourself that it was some trick.
I have given you plenty of physical evidence that Allah is real.Just simply open your eyes and look around you, you will find plenty of evidence if you but truly see instead of just relying on your natural senses.
You might have very open mind to scientific and archealogical evidence but just because there's lack of evidence doesn't mean it simply doesn't exist...you of all people on this board ought to know this fact.
Allah has always existed,exists and will continue to exist regardless of your unbelief.

Not very creative are you....you can do better than simply switch the words around.
As for Allah yes I can believe Allah is God, for Allah is the same God as the God of Abraham,Issac and Jacob. He is also Jehovah/Heavenly Father, the Great Spirit, etc....
This what you and in particular matt can't seem to understand.There is not other gods but God.
He has many designations/name but He is the same being.

I don't think anyone could prove anything to you matt given your mindset. You'll never be convinced unless Azathoth Itself appeared to you face to face and demonstrated Its might. On that day you'd cower in a corner, gibbering, as do all who behold Azathoth in his full blasphemous glory.
I have given you plenty of physical evidence that Azathoth is real. Just simply open your eyes and look around you, you will find plenty of evidence in the sheer madness that composes this paltry universe.
You might have very open mind to scientific and archaeological evidence as we pathetic humans understand such sciences, but just because you ignore the evidences of the cyclopean cities of the Elder Things on the plateau of Leng in Antarctica, the ruins of the basalt cities with high windowless towers that Abdul Alhazred whispered might still contain vestiges of the civilization of the Flying Polyps; or the sunken city of R'lyeh, which has abnormal, non-Euclidean geometry...you, as an archaeologist, of all people on this board ought to know these facts. Human civilization can only thank you for not spreading this knowledge and thus hastening the End Times.
Azathoth has always existed, exists and will continue to exist regardless of your unbelief.

I thought the Azathoth description was quite frightening. On a side note I have been looking at pictures of Lovecraft's Cthulhu, and I have decided that the the Illithid or Mind Flayers from Dungeons and Dragons were definitely based upon it.

Of course you would say that, because your instinctive response to any form of opposition is to condemn, subjugate and silence it, instead of attempting to reason against it.
