I should have posted this a long time ago, but I am galactically slow at updating. There’s a weekly webcomic called “Gods Playing Poker” based on the idea that several different religions are represented in a card game. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without our own patron soul-eater. He doesn’t actually speak a language, but often speaks in other tongues (I’ve spotted Jabba-speak in the latest one at least).
While I generally want to avoid religious discussions, this one holds no punches. In a recent comic, Cthulhu is shown wearing the pope’s hat, with Jesus saying “I don’t care. You swallowed him, you can darn well un-swallow him!”
Wow.

It’s worth noting that, right after posting this, “Gods Playing Poker” started a plotline where Cthulhu was revealed as “fiction”. I’m sure they will rectify this misunderstanding presently.
why do people keep referring to the Buddha as a god ? >.<
he’s a SAGE !! God is known in the Dharmic world as Isvara, Brahman, Paratma etc.
The Buddhists themselves do not believe in any ‘person’ who rules the Universe.
Now look what you started! Seriously, we’ve had this upcoming plot-line planned for a very long time, in no short part based on the poker game’s makeup vs. its name. Your comment was so perfectly timed that we adjusted the strip to include it. PS: We chose the name of the strip for its catchiness, because “Gods, prophets, sages and related religious icons playing poker” just isn’t as memorable. Thanks for taking a look!
