  • cthulhu rises 21.12.2012

  • The reason that many people insist that Yog-sothoth is stronger is because Wikipedia says that he is mightier than the all powerful Azathoth and wiser than the all knowing Yibb-istll. The mention of Yibb-istll most certainly means that this tidbit came from post-lovecraft additions to the Cthulhu mythos, most likely by August Derleth and beyond. Make of it what you will.

  • @HiveFleetHydra but Yog-Sothoth isn't stronger. i get so many when people say that :P

  • @hiimquinn Well, the later authors of the Cthulhu mythos say he is stronger, so I guess if you count their works he would indeed be more powerful. However, the thing about the Mythos is that you are free to disregard any author or story you don't like as the canon policy is effectively nonexistent. So if you are one of those who vehemethly refuse to accept the works of anyone but Lovecraft as canon in the Cthulhu mythos; then the whole question of Yog-sothoth vs Azathoth becomes up for debate.

  • @HiveFleetHydra well that's like saying "Nyarlathotep is Azathoth's soul". he's not his SOUL, he's simply the one who is most loyal, and hears directly from him. i can understand why some would consider Yog-Sothoth to be more powerful, seeing as how he's the manefestation of time and space. but reality shatter's like glass in Azathoth's presence. and no matter how far away, or how far back in time Azathoth goes, once he is awake, all his dreams (including Yog-Sothoth) evaporate

  • @hiimquinn In my opinion, the later authors made Yog-sothoth definitively more powerful than Azathoth to get something closer to a Monotheistic god. All knowing and All Powerful rather than Azathoth's infinite might combined with a mind that may or may not actually exist. It's something of a simplification of the Cthulhu mythos but I can see where it comes from. But still, if you don't like the post-lovecraft Cthulhu mythos authors, you are free to ignore them.

  • @HiveFleetHydra well it's not like i want to IGNORE new works. i'd love it if the Cthulhu Mythos became more popular, i'd love it if i could walk into my school library and see all the stories by H.P.Lovecraft up on the shelves, and even others. i just wish they stayed true to his original intentions, rather then taking it and putting it into something that shouldn't be. i can understand why, as Azathoth isn't really someone you can describe; but that's half the fun of him, isn't it?

  • And this is why the actual cults of the old ones are so much more awesome than every other group with an agenda or opinion: When they're done, nobody will be able to string two words together, let alone argue.

  • I read the book...

    It was two pages long. It was weird. All of it was subtext for something else.

  • Praise you Azathoth! If knowing the unknowable make me mad, than I don't want to be sane! I hope you shatter my mind in a million of parts!

  • what the fuck? oh well

  • @MannySteinerBleeky

    Shut up. Just shut up. I have read both the Simon Necronomicon and about half of Enoch 2, and they have nothing at all to do with each other, nor have any bearing on the real world. Regardless of any personal views, it is a scientific fact that psychotropic drugs can have a negative effect on your perception of reality. Please detox before continuing with your line of thought. You're only making it worse for your position.

  • @8BitSesshoumaru I think he's just trolling, dude.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - how does you proving you're a fucking peado moron and me proving you a cunt too, show up anything about me.

    you've the lowest stupidest consciousness imaginable, the world needs rid of all scumfucks anything near to being like you.

    kill yourself useless-eater.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - inferiors that ruined the Reich - are always only attracted by the uniforms.

    we knew that about your kind you know. and that you'd make shit up about us and everything else too in this fake reality-tunnel you project on your bed-gened-jewbag minds.

    you again prove how little you know about anything - by continuing to ignore what your evil self knows are facts in my previous comments.

    kill yourself.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - child-molester, LSD was put here by the good nazis, who also didn't lie like evil jewbags like you do about how reality works or what aliens etc made who, as an example of the likes of immortal operating systems - to show people the truth of how evil your conspiracy is, and what actual reality is really like - that your evil conspiracy covers up: to have this capitalist unsustainable hellworld you made out of the garden planet.

    kill yourself fucktarded soul-less.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - peado it's obvious you're the same conspiracy that wrote same lies about that Victor guy as you did about me here - for the sam reasons, he also exposes your area 51 kind of shit,

    you know the aliens are real - and here you are still denying the truth of the Els and Ancient Ones, an evil jewbag that knowingly disobeys its manufacturers.

    your lies are your only defense against them taking your sick minds from within.

    what you wrote about sex also proves you're soul-less

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - and child-molester satanist,

    your conspiracy proves you a drama queen for having to try to pre-empt me booking out the Dee and Kelley Necronimicon manuscripts from the British Museum - you're so fucked, trying to deny things you know are real, such as star people making humans etc.

    i said to you that you couldn't get laid unless it was fake and you paid for it, scum like you are as clueless about sex as you are about all else. which is entirely.

    kill yourself fag.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - and child-molester satanist,

    your conspiracy proves you a drama queen for having to try to pre-empt me booking out the Dee and Kelley Necronimicon manuscripts from the British Museum - you're so fucked, trying to deny things you know are real, such as star people making humans etc.

    i said to you that you couldn't get laid unless it was fake and you paid for it, scum like you are as clueless about sex as you are about all else. which is entirely.

    kill yourself fag.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - child-molester, the world is completely fucked and corrupt - you being a peado and further trying to abuse me for exposing your satanism doesn't change the fact that none of my comments or persona are near to drama queen - but all of yours are,

    you're the same peado that posted those lies that Victor is a drama queen - the guy exposing your peado conspiracy from those leaked area51 tapes,

    see how you prove me right by attacking me as you do him.

    kill yourself scum.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - idiot, read the quotes on the 'simon' necronomicon - Burroughs, a man that is an actual genius - it's spelled, moron, and i can say that cause it's true and still also rightly call you a faggot - knows it based upon real.

    you're mentally ill if you think you can ignore the truth known of by indigenous people, fucktard.

    getting laid isn't a skill in a corrupt world where anyone can pay for it or whatever else. though you would have to buy.

    kill yourself moron.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - they are real, they come from Enochian texts and Old Testment stuff and loads of indigenous folks have always been in contact with their creators, who all are star people.

    it's only your idiot sheeple mindset of the last epoch, that spent the post ww2 time of its epoch denying the rest of its epoch happened, and denying any of the civilisations before 6000 years ago happened.

    kill yourself.

  • @Trollingbutryingnoto - an ancient one could eat the sun, and you think your weapons that ultimately wipe you out - already are via toxins as well as causing people to become stupider therefore not even aware of what is poisoning them...therefore think that nukes etc are a good idea (i understand wanting to 'press the button' and end this crap, but that is precisely because it contains idiots that are poisoning it etc) - will have an effect on things that generate reality itself...?!

  • people are getting really desperate with finding these different satanic/world of warcraft names that their getting hard to pronounce.. soon their gonna be fozrasorgathathra or demontementazratz.. are those easy to pronounce?? didnt think so..

  • Oh no it's Azathoth! The blind idiot god who riles endlessly to the pounding of obnoxious drums!

  • @DJAshian - that's heresay, it in fact refers to its earthly incarnations embodied, as they enjoy things like raves.

  • @JakobsMovieTutorials Yog-Sothoth is everything.

  • @fudgeyum Nice try, but I'm still here, and my argument still stands. The part is not greater than the whole.

  • Yog-Sothoth is more powerful :)

  • Nice song cosmic and sublime!

  • puny god don't they lucifer rule all lol

  • all humans are idiots. that's the only answer u really need. old god's new gods. really who cares shit dont matter when u burn in ash.

  • @MsMorphic Okay, now you have really done it... If you will refer back to my initial statement, you will find that that is precisely what I was referring to... Goddamn it, are you telling me we've both been arguing for the same side of this debate all along?!? You are starting to confuse me MsMorphic, please make up your mind...

  • @MsMorphic If I may, young lady, I would like to suggest that you take your "full level of thinking" back to school. You should really consider continuing your education, because, quite frankly, you have made yourself sound like an "idiot." Thank you, that is all.

  • @MsMorphic Also, you go on to call me an "idiot", (which, as we shall see, is clearly a more appropriate description of yourself.) and then proceed by stating "read the full comment first or at least ask before you someone your full level of thinking." I'll repeat that last part for you; "before you someone your full level of thinking." This sentence, also, makes no sense. Perhaps you left out a word? Perhaps you would care to "read the full comment first" before you post it?

  • @MsMorphic Hmmm. Read the entire comment indeed. I said nothing of super-humans foolish mortal. Also, I read your full comment, dear, and quite frankly, it appears that you don't really understand what it is you are trying to say. Your sentence "If you can't cure something in order to fool yourself in thinking that you can control it you create it." makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Apart from being a run-on sentence, it simply holds no logic.

  • @MsMorphic Cure diseases?!? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAA!!! We don't cure diseases, we create them in labs and distribute them via vaccinations. You silly goose, you...

  • What the fu** is a Azathoth?

  • Azathoth is the universe? AZAROTH! is the universe in world of warcraft! Damn that game is so full of shit... irrelevant i know...

  • @skyunderliner OH!!! thanks for pointin that out

  • Go fuck some pussies guys...give the rpg old gods a vacation !

  • This video needs some idiot piping of flutes instead of the music it has now.

  • i love how people are talking about Yog-Sothoth on an Azathoth video, and Azathoth on Yog-Sothoth's video

  • @fudgeyum Nope. Yog-sothoth is the gate and the key, present in all dimensions - all places and all times - but that does not translate to omnipotence, merely omnipresence and near omniscience. Conversely Azathoth IS THE UNIVERSE. What you're insisting is tantamount to a single brain cell trying to kill its whole body, which is both impossible and nonsensical from its own perspective. There *is* no "Azathoth's place;" there is just Azathoth.

  • Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread.

  • @paradoxatreo Azathoth is Yog-Sothoth's superior

  • Iam confused after skimming through all the comments reading about azathoth been the best (as in all powerful intelligent being ect ect), then Yog-Sothoth been better then him because hes exsisted before time or something or other. i always thought Cthulhu was the most powerful? quote me if iam wrong, or if its not just as simple as that, because by looking at what most (what seems to be hardcore fans) are putting here, it seems quite complicated

  • @Deja564 In terms of power, Azathoth is the most powerful of all the old ones. But Azathoth is chaos itself, and chaos cannot have any structure - and logical thought is structure of a kind. So Azathoth is gibbering madness, incapable of higher level thinking. Why Azathoth is often called "The Idiot God". Yog-Sothoth, on the other hand, is nearly as powerful - and unlike Azathoth - Yog-Sothoth is more than capable of thinking/reasoning. Cthulu, while powerful, isn't nearly as strong as Yog.

  • @Intertronz Thanks for the conformation, despite some been more powerful or interllectual then others, all the old ones sound pretty fasinating and interesting to me.

  • @SceneboyGROWL It's easiest to think of the mythos as a living body, the body of Azathoth. Yog-Sothoth is the brain, Nyarlathotep the soul, etc, etc.

  • @SceneboyGROWL "not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum, but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence’s whole unbounded sweep" -Lovecraft. In essence, Yog-Sothoth is tied in with all of creation. Can Azathoth claim to be on that level? Especially when it's already stated that Yog-Sothoth is not only more powerful than Azathoth, but more intelligent than Yibb-Tstll.

  • @fudgeyum actually, Yog-Sothoth controls all time and dimensions. he can open portals to any time, any place, and any realm he wishes. he also knows EVERYTHING that ever has happened and ever will happen. but Azathoth is darkness. not just darkness as in shadows, i mean the darkness that was there before everything. before the universe was here, before the energies collided that made us, before time itself began to knit itself together. there was only darkness...there was only Azathoth

  • @hiimquinn Ok you listed off Yog-Sothoth's powers. So he knows everything that happened and what will happen. So he could in theory put Azathoth in purgatory forever by opening a portal and putting Azathoth in. Yog-Sothoth would obviously come up with a solid strategy to do so because he knows everything.

  • @fudgeyum of course not. everything is preordained, even Yog-Sothoth's own actions. this is supposedly explained by Yog-Sothoth himself in a dream to a human (i can't remember the book). also, what you say is true, Yog-Sothoth COULD put him in a portal or teleport him to another dimension. however, you seem to misunderstand that Azathoth IS the universe. he IS everything and everything IS him, he IS darkness and his powers are only bound by your own imagination of what he can or cannot do

  • @fudgeyum Azathoth is the highest ranking ancient one. the king of gods. the demon sultan. he is choas, he is madness, and it even says that HE ALONE is the master of time and space. Yog-Sothoth can just manipulate it

  • @hiimquinn Yog-Sothoth is EVERYTHING and azathoth cant rule over him because Yog is in a different dimension. Plus azathoth is unconscious so if yog sothoth decides to delete him from existence he could easily.

  • @fudgeyum no, Yog-Sothoth is time and space. not material. even his avatar is just a heap of bubbles. it doesn't matter which dimension you are in, these creatures (the Ancient ones) don't care about things like that. death, time, even reality is relative to them. and no, Azathoth is NOT unconscious, he is very much alive. although incapable of rational thought by his very nature, his only limitations are the boundaries you yourself place on your own imagination

  • @fudgeyum and once again, Azathoth is Yog-Sathoth's superior. Yog-Sathoth's title is "gatekeeper". Azathoth's title is "Demon Sultan, Lord of the Abyss, Master of Darkness" he is the KING of all the ancient ones. and once again, by his very nature, Azathoth CANNOT be destroyed because (and H.P.Lovecraft explained this himself) he CREATED this reality in a dream. as he did with all others. Yog-Sothoth cannot "delete" him because he doesn't have that control. he CAN warp him to another dimension

  • @fudgeyum but, knowing Azathoth, he could easily WILL himself back

  • @hiimquinn I doubt it because Yog would know what Azathoth would do before he does it and prepare himself for it.

  • @fudgeyum how? seriously, as i said before, aside from Yog-Sothoth's strength, size, and intellect, his only powers revolve around time travel and teleportation, but even he has his limits. Azathoth doesn't HAVE limits simply because Azathoth IS the universe, and all others. he created the universe in a dream, and as long as one little bit of it remains intact, so does he. Yog-Sothoth cannot move a whole UNIVERSE back to where it wasn't even created, and even if he could, he couldn't destroy it

  • @hiimquinn Well it was stated that Yog-Sothoth is not only more powerful than Azathoth, but more intelligent than Yibb-Tstll. So he is stronger than the all powerful one and smarter than the all knowing one. You cant beat an all knowing thing. Like you said Yog can manipulate Time and Space so he could turn Azathoth into a regular human or just make him non existent. Also since Yog is EVERYTHING in one he has azathoth in him plus everything from every time period ever. Btw Yog dosnt have limits.

  • @fudgeyum where exactly did it say this? and how was it said?. and once again, you don't seem to be listening. you say Yog-Sothoth is everything like it's a good excuse, it's not, because he's not. AZATHOTH is the one who created this reality, and it's Azathoth who holds the most power. otherwise, Yog-Sothoth would be king. and it doesn't matter how smart you are compared to power. because Azathoth's true form is chaos, pure chaos, darkness, and madness. no one can even stand GOING to his palace

  • @hiimquinn Yog doesn't live in "THIS" reality he lives in multiple and is and will always be everything. Its a decent excuse because you cant kill him or do harm to him. This is true because he lives in our reality and others simultaneously. Since he knows everything that is and will be he would know how to go to Azathoths palace dethrone him and become the new king BUT this is all theory because they are on higher levels of thinking except for azathoth because he lacks intelligence.

  • @fudgeyum as does Azathoth. once again, you don't seem to understand the fact that "dimensions, reality, life, and death" mean NOTHING to the ancient ones, they are as simple to them as a coffee cup is to us. you can't kill any of the other ancient ones either. and once again, no, you don't seem to understand that he is INCAPABLE of going to Azathoth's palace because it is pure chaos, and no other ancient one can handle that. being smart doesn't help you when your stuck in a typhoon

  • @fudgeyum and thats not true at all. Azathoth can think perfectly fine. he just has no form of "higher thought" and all his ideas never make much sense. how about this... think back. think back to the beggining of the universe, before the two atoms collided and made the universe, before anything like that was even in existence, before time itself began... there was just darkness. thats all there was, darkness. that darkness was Azathoth. he is the oldest, and everything is relative to him

  • @fudgeyum and yes i'm fairly sure he does. being titled "gatekeeper, master of time and space" implies you only have authority in things that go under those category's (you'd be surprised what doesn't). while Azathoth is just titled "King". this means he HAS no limits, he IS the most powerful. besides, any rational thing (and Yog-Sothoth is rational) can see the universe's rule would NOT do well under a being with no intelligent thought. yet he doesn't do anything, it means he can't

  • @hiimquinn Well this was a conversation on who would win. I understand Azathoth has no limits what so ever because he is all powerful. But so is Yog and Yog is all knowing as well. I'm just saying Yog-sothoth would win because he knows everything and can do anything he pleases (Like obliterating the known and unknown universe and reality itself). This pertains to Azathoth because you said Azathoth is the universe. Yog can destroy the universe if he wanted.

  • @fudgeyum no, he cannot, because as i said, his powers revolve around time and space, not destruction and chaos. Yog-Sothoth cannot create a universe, Azathoth can. all Yog-Sothoth's actions are preordained, as are all others. Azathoth's are not. Yog-Sothoth cannot do much without rationally thinking it over. Azathoth can do crap in his dreams. the most intelligent being poses no more threat to Azathoth then the most intelligent insect

  • if yog-sothoth is a variation of the infinity concept, then he´s just harmfull as a sign written on a blackboard been dreamed by a blind, idiot god = azhathoth.

  • @SceneboyGROWL Yog-Sothoth is an all in one being so he has everything in him. Even azathoths powers. Instant win.

  • @fudgeyum maybe azathoth is the cancer inside yog - sothoth, or the universe, for that matter, just waiting to be awaken.

  • @peluchetaiwanes I ment he's all in one figuratively. He dosnt really have everything inside him. He just is Azathoths powers and every other things powers multiplied by infinity. He literally knows everything and is everything Past, Present, and future. Complete Annihilation.

  • your behavior to ones beside you settle who steal who´s key to happiness, then the gate is open.

  • ONLY THE INSANE WORSHIP AZATHOTH AS AZATHOTH PROMISES NOTHING BUT OBLIVION!

  • @HorusGodEmperor But there are pancakes in Oblivion... at least thats what the recruiter said when I passed by...

  • Azathoth the supreme being.

  • @AlexCrazyHand Yog- Sothoth can kick his ASS!

  • Azathoth and Thakkra, I worship both equally by wearing a giant sombrero and licking the sidewalk every day

  • Azathoth is the creator of all, and so utterly inhuman theres no mortal worshippers who understand anything of their god. Cthulhu is azathoths high priest on earth.

    Oh and jesus is just an avatar of nyarlahotep

  • @nelemak Actually, that's a bit of a misconception, Cthulhu is high priest of his own star-spawn, and neither he nor they worship Azathoth.

  • I'm sorry but I still think it should say - "From his black throne at the end of ultimate chaos, satan lord of madness and the abyss reigns supreme over all hatred and evil, for he is the master of all who dwells in the darkness."

  • @Nightshift10000 "Satan" is the name of Azathoth in some upstart religion created to confuse humanity to not see the real source of Xaos; the Unknowable and Supreme Azathoth.

    Silly humans who believe in Satan believe in a fairytale.

  • @GnosticAtheist

    Um, no, Nyarlathotep is "The Black Man" of Witchcraft, one of the "guises" of Satan. Azathoth is just the mindless, gibbering thing sitting at the center of the universe. Kind of like Congress.

  • @ChEdBrown That is possibly true...

  • @ChEdBrown

    Isn't Azathoth technically the most powerful being in the Universe?

  • @Nightshift10000 Um, according to the Bible, didn't God create darkness and have ultimate control over it?

  • @justifan God Created The Universe but satan became the Lord Of Darkness in his rebellion against God, and to be totally truthful is the most powerful spiritual in the universe (Accept for God Of Course).

  • @Nightshift10000 At the center of ultimate chaos, I mean.

  • Lotta freaks on this page.

  • @TheOzzmeister Yeah, I saw your mom here the other night.

    BOYA!!! Hell yeah, I owned your buttocks! You lost! etc etc

  • fhtagn

  • WHAO! his eyes are scary

  • "Drain you of your sanity, FACE THE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE!"

    Means Azathoth ........ Azathoth bless you metallica .....

  • The primeval state of all things and the ultimate fate of all things: chaos, madness, unbridled rage, and oblivion.

  • so the outer gods are just trying to safe the universe by keeping azathoth in his slumber?

  • Comment removed

  • GReat

  • you is the mightiest thing or deity?

  • btw he is also mentally retarded, but don't tell his mom

  • somewhat

  • who is better cthulhu or azathoth?

  • @livingbysacrifice Azathoth. He created everything.

  • @Nemesis0300 not really although he creater everything for his goofyness he has no longer a mind so basically hes like a baby with a squirt gun loaded with infintive rpg ammo.

  • @livingbysacrifice before awnsering. what can Cuthulu do exacly? massive strength, magic?

  • @void735 Well he's the size of a mountain, regenerates, immune to conventional weaponry, and can invade the minds of men while they sleep and most are drive mad at the sight of him.

    Meanwhile Azathoth could destroy all of existence with a thought, be happy he's asleep

  • @Curttehmurt huh..tricky one, make humanity really patetic...well in close hand combat cthulhu migh have advantage but Azaroth might have greatter dark atack on him. like seal him away in eternal darkness or something

  • @void735 the point is, while Cthulhu may be a God to mortals and an unstoppable force will inevitably spell the end for humanity, Azathoth is a God to GODS who in his blind throws of madness could, and most likely will eventually, destroy all the Outer Gods, Great Old Ones and everything else without even noticing.

    There is no competition here.

    The point of Lovecraft's writings is that eventually humanity and the rest of the universe will be wiped out by forces incomprehensible able to us.

  • @Curttehmurt Say what you and Lovecraft will, but I think Azathoth is nothing more than a foul beast that must be, and can be, destroyed; be it by the hand of man, the hand of Satan, or the hand of God Himself.

  • @Curttehmurt

    who is more powerful, Yog-Sothoth or Azathoth?

  • @DarthSparhawk

    Yog. He's the only outer god stronger and smarter then Azathoth.

  • @TheFingerbuns I think azathoth would fucking rick roll cthulhu and yog. I mean azathoth is the master of all that dwells in the darkness and he reigns supreme over ALL time and space. You cant beat that man he fucking owns u and u dont even know it u fucking little loser.

  • @LilShaggy82

    Yog knows everything that ever happened and ever will happened, and exists at every point of existence. Azathoth has madness and unpredictability on his side, but Yog has absolute knowledge of existence as a whole. Azathoth only exists because Yog allowed him to be created.

  • @TheFingerbuns yeah sure u sound like a fucking kid talking about pokemon ur fucking stupid and dont try talking to me

  • @LilShaggy82

    Uh... what? most of what I said is established in the stories. I think you have some reading homework to catch up on :)

  • @Curttehmurt Immune to conventional weaponry? That says to me not "He can't be killed, HE...CAN'T...BE...KILLED!!!"; no, it says to me "What are you guys doing? Get off your asses and let's search the universe and beyond for something that CAN hurt him! With a universe this big, there's got to be something."

  • CXUXUKLUTH

  • Azathoth is All kinds of badass, but have you guys read Nethescurial by Thomas Ligotti? (which is a take on Azathoth and the mythos). If 'no' then you really shoud, it's on his site.

  • Best H.P. Lovecraft story-based songs:

  • kneel before ZOD

  • Comment removed

  • Yep, you sure are. Your music sucks too.

  • yea whatever fool

  • The original "enemies" of God and Man were the Leviathan, the Behemoth, and the Serpent (don't really know who these are, they remain very mysterious figures with scarcely any explanation). Satan was originally an angel who executed God's orders to create challenges for humanity (like temptations and natural disasters, but all done with the purpose of good, of helping humanity grow). Initially, God was the source of both good and evil and there was no Devil until Christianity.

  • If God in the old testament could be said to have an enemy it would be Baal, the god worshiped by the enemies of the Israelites. (who as a note is not the devil either, the word Baal simply means lord).

    as for Leviathan and Behemoth, they are two of the three monsters made by God, the other is the Ziz. in the Jewish apocalypse its said these three monsters will be eaten by the faithful in a great feast in heaven.

    you are right on the rest of your post, Satan is the spirit god sends to test.

  • I think all other gods were technically "enemies" of God in the Old Testament. The Egyptian gods were God's enemies before Baal, but this is only if these other gods mess with the Hebrews. Depending on the interpretation, it is probable that the ancient Hebrews acknowledged other gods' existence (unlike modern Judaism), it's just that only God the Creator is worthy of worship (He was either the chief of all other gods-think Zeus/Odin-or that He created even the other gods).

  • we created this god...we created this world ... it all started in a drem you experience every night ... when you are calm or asleep you enter that 0 point .... if you have a lucid dream you control the situation .... in a lucid dream you can enter or materialize the thing you like ... lets say ... you liked this world and you materialized yourself in it ... ok? but its just an option ... there can be million ... but I find the Transurfing Reality stuff convincing and on top of it all Logical

  • great

  • nice video

  • *blink* Azathoth...so that's what he was called...well, not that it has any social relevance, and I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate mail from cultists...but his ACTUAL name is Arkus...He's the end result of the fallen angel Moloch trying to turn an angel into a demon...and he isn't RULER of the darkness...he IS the darkness...every bit of it is an extention of his own body, and he controls it as we would a hand or a foot...it's just nature

  • it could be possible that there is a being which is just dreaming our universe

  • I despise it when people say that Nature is inherently pure.

    All organisms have no sense of morality, which in itself is an arbitrary imposition by a wider community.

    The rainforest is prime example, a place where plants choke one-another to death just for a moment in the light.

    All nature is as bad as us.

    We are no more vile or corrupt then a blade of grass.

  • nature isn't necessary corrupt or pure. Nature is nature its survival of the fittest strong survive the weak die. A lion doesn't go kill a gazelle because it hates the look of it or wants it dead because it made a rude gesture its killing it for survival to eat. Comparing a human for waring over something so trivial as religion and the likes to a plant thats trying to get more sunlight only to survive. Really nature has no concept of right or wrong.

  • But as human beings, and part of nature itself, is not the phenominon we call war simply an extention of our human nature? What I am getting at here I suppose is if the lion had the ability to envy or despise the rabbit, would not its retaliation simply be a natural process which is the result of its thought processes?

  • War is apart of nature and im sure it evolved along with humans. But nature is all about balance and survival.  Humans don't need to make war for resources or religion. violence for the sake of it or because it enjoys it. What im getting at was not war. Im simply stating that animals don't need to commit acts of violence for the sake of it or because they enjoy it as would a human.

  • ERaver2020 actually animals do in fact commit acts of violence for sport and enjoyment. There is no need for a cat to play with its food for example and sometimes wild predators deliberately take longer to chase down prey for enjoyment.

  • You cant compare a person that goes out and kills in the name of their diety/religion to a cat that plays with its prey to hone its hunting instincts and to keep in shape. In the end the cat might be cruel as you so put it but they're doing it for food.

  • @ERaver2020 what if you kill to worship your god, BUT you worship your god because you want to be 'eaten first' which exempts you from infinite pain that your deity will bring to the world, what then?

  • @ERaver2020 no they're not. you don't need to play around with your food to eat it.

  • @ERaver2020 humans possess the agression for we still haven't learned we are smarter than animals ... we still compare ourselves to them and we wan't to rule this world ... we cannot rule it ... we never will ... we are the guests in this world ... but still all we have is what we wanted ... power of mind is greater thatn Azathoth or any God we amagine ... see ... prove ... lol ppl

  • war IS a part of nature. watch the discovery channel. there was one episode of Nature where they showed pretty much a clan war between two monkey families due to two males fighting over a female.

  • Well, that's a part of survival. The female must have had good traits or genes; she must have been large and strong or a good mother, so that her mate's children would survive and his bloodline would continue. Since monkeys are very intelligent and social animals they get their relatives to help, because their bloodline relates to the relatives' bloodline.

  • groups of Male chimps will leave their own territory, sneak into that of another group (regardless of food supplies in either one) and hunt down lone individuals of the other troop and brutally kill them.

    Chimps will also go to war with other chimp troops over territory.

    When it comes down to it, we really only use religion and what not as covers for the reality that we want each others resources and straight just want different people dead,the chimp instinct ofkill them because they are other

  • Yeah, but nature is useless. We decide (as a part of nature mind you) what we want. With more and more tech, we will create a superawesome race, and become their Gods. Obviously, they will realize we are pathestic and exterminate us, but thats just kewl. Peace.

  • @GnosticAtheist lol...

  • live life

  • what?

  • Where did this whole "If he wakes up we will fade away" thing start? I cant recall it from any of the stories.

  • It was probably from some third party author Mythos story. Or it could just be a Mythos theory; if Azathoth is asleep, it's kind of cool to think this is all just his dream.

  • hey alien gave you earth so hush hush by judging...cast down from heaven as we were to live on the earth

  • The idea that most of the eldritch beasts of Lovecraft = Satan is crap. Satan is an advesary something deeply and intimately tied to humanity, the cosmic horrors on the other hand are alien and act not out of malice, but what is almost ignorance. If anything the beasts of lovecraft are more an expression of the man's bigotry, representing his fear of change as well as the bestial, alien and barbaric foreigner and what results from mixing that with 'white' civilization. Keep in mind the times.

  • In the lovecraftian mythos humanity is the side effects of a scientific mistake by the elder things a race that now reside in the nothern and southern poles of the earth they created the shoggoths and many other creatures in prehistoric times.

  • I know how Lovecraft was racist as one can be, and how those ideas would manifest through his stories. But I don't think the entire mythos he created is about that. Pretty sure it was mostly just about man's insignificance and what not.

    Although the whole mixing with whites was pretty much what the shadow over Innsmouth was about.

  • It's not a matter of comparison for me, it's just that numerous avatars of Nyarlathothep are based off of or are the basis for Satan. Azathoth has no relation to Satan, much in the same way that he very possibly has no relation to anything. But the fact remains that Nyarl. is connected to the concept of the devil. It's hard to deny when you look at his avatars; the Black Man, Asmodeus, Set, and numerous others. Nyarl. quite possibly is Satan by being the inventor of the very concept himself.

  • Perfectly valid, except that Nyar cant be the basis for Satan as he came _after_ Satan. Just a nitpick.
