Line 1:
Line 1: − + − − Lovecraft's novel "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath", while full of strange and often incomprehensible imagery, is a retelling of Bunyon's "Pilgrim's Progress". The hero of the novel, Randolph Carter, embarks on a strange journey through a series of philosophical doctrines, including [[Buddhism]] and [[atheism]], symbolized by various monsters and strange cities. It is only at the very end when Carter realizes that the true faith of his own American heritage, Christianity, is the only way for him to "wake up" from the nightmare of [[Lies|false doctrine]]. − − Many scholars claim that Lovecraft was an atheist with no supporting evidence for their claim. In reality, Lovecraft denied the theory of [[evolution]] and [[Theory of relativity|relativity]], recognizing them as the dangerous ideas that they were.

'''H. P. Lovecraft''' (1890-1937) was an [[United States of America|American]] author of fantasy and horror tales. Although often portrayed as a horror writer, his famous "[[Cthulhu]] Mythos" is, in fact, a disguised allegory for the [[Christianity|Christian faith]]. Cthulhu himself, as portrayed in his masterpiece, "The Call of Cthulhu", represents [[Jesus Christ]]; Cthulhu, like Christ, was sent to Earth, but then [[Crucifixion|crucified]] (though Cthulhu was actually banished to a city hidden under the sea). Cthulhu, like Christ, awaits a time when he can return to save humanity.
