A Slice Of Life.

Me: 'I've just described "Gandalf, Aslan, and Cthulhu" as "a trio of Jesus figures who all die to bring on eventual victory". I think Frances is broken.'

sivi_volk: 'One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong...anywhere...ever...'

jasmine_koran: Also Neo.
Me: This is not an exhaustive list of Jesii.
Me: It's simply a description of the three Jesii in a specific context.
jasmine_koran: However, I think a criterion for Jesushood is that their intentions are for the good of humanity. I don't feel that Cthulhu qualifies.
Me: Who said he's dying for *your* benefit?
jasmine_koran: I said humanity.
Me: Can't he be Spaceman Jesus?
jasmine_koran: Not unless we are starship captains wandering a barren planet hunting a monster and communicating only in metaphors.
Me: .... I suppose?

snakey: does Cthulhu rise again?
Me: Of course he does. He rises *every* time The Stars Are Right.
Me: And the only question is whether there's someone with a shotgun at the R'lyeh Tomb Of Zombie Jesus for long enough for the stars to stop before he stops rising.
snakey ...now I am imagining a version of The Price Is Right

I, for the record, would pay to watch THE SHIT out of that show.


EDIT:

opaqueplanet: The Elder Gods so loved R'lyeh that they gave one of their many star-spawn that the ilithids may not die but may eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die."
torrain: "Cthulhu Christ would be rather difficult to nail to a crucifix."

occured to me too. But I'm so used to seeing people eff latin and greek plurals/singulars that it barely phases me anymore. I twitch and move on.
