A thing that happened

Posted by SporgyTheMenace - April 24th, 2023


Last month, I got a pastor as a substitute teacher, he decided to converse with me while I playing The Binding of Isaac. This is because this was during a teacher vs student basketball game and the class was nearly empty because the rest are seeing the game.


He was nice and asked me what I do, I showed him my art on my Newgrounds account and of course he gave some compliments until I showed him my drawing of Nyarlathotep mocking Jesus, I then explained to him what the Cthulhu Mythos is and a baseline explanation of H.P Lovecraft. The more I explained the more scared he became, such as the idea of Azathoth(aka God) created us on accident and we serve no bigger purpose and Nyarlathotep being Jesus.


He then says while holding my collection of Lovecraft’s stories; “This is dangerous”.

I am both amused and ashamed.


P.S if you’re wondering if I grew up in a religious family or a traditional family, the answer is yes, but the religion in question is Chinese Folk religion.

Remember: Religion is something that should never be taken too seriously. When people take their religions too seriously they start getting up to naughty things, like autos-da-fe, massacres, wars, etc.

People can get pretty wonky off of art about touchy subjects like religion, but all you really have to do is share it with the right people. I'm planning on making a linoleum print about a robot Jesus and my art teachers were on board. Stay safe mate.
