Christ, Christianity

Parallels

Laban Shrewsbury and Horvath Blayne saw a parallel between the "Christian Mythos," which records "the expulsion of Sathanus and his followers and their ever-ceaseless attempts to reconquer heaven," and the Cthulhu Mythos, which speaks of the failed rebellion of the Great Old Ones (3) against the Elder Gods (1). [AWD Island]

Marius Phillips thought that the Elder Gods (1), being forces of good, paralleled the Christian trinity. However, the the Cthulhu myth-pattern had existed long before the Christian mythos and even before the dawn of mankind. [AWD Seal (online text)]

The natives near Salapunco feared an inhuman being who was 'old as time' before the teachings of Christ were made known to mankind. [AWD Gorge]

Laban Shrewsbury said that the Deluge of the Christian Mythos may have been the same which sank the lost continents of Atlantis and Mu. Shrewsbury thought this same cataclysm might have brought the undersea Nameless City to the surface. [AWD Keeper]

Observing the Tulu and Yig worship by the Old Ones (3) of K'n-yan, Zamacona mistook some of their rites for perversions of his own Christian faith. Zamacona never lost an opportunity to try to convert the Old Ones to the faith of the cross. [HPL Mound (online text)].

False Christians

The formerly Christian churches in Innsmouth were taken over by the Esoteric Order of Dagon. "Those churches were very odd—all violently disavowed by their respective denominations elsewhere, and apparently using the queerest kind of ceremonials and clerical vestments." [HPL Innsmouth (online text); AWD Sky]

The South American missionary Father Andrada was killed and replaced by a Deep One. [AWD Gorge]
