Explaining Cthulism - a Breakdown

Description
In previous SG games, I introduced Cthulhism as a driving force in my OC's life.
This strip is a reply to Book of Heretic Cults: Chthulic Order of Nine, SGG II: Book of Heretic Cults - Inboxarr, Dread Cthuhlu and the Void, The Void - The Layer of Limbo, Stories of the Void: the Black Wind, Into the Void - Without a Country, The Final Nail in the Coffin
Essentially, Cthulhism is a mish mash of random parts of the following:
*Creatures from HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos and other stories.
*Various memes present regarding mysticism and Satanism as portrayed by fiction (including the "gates")
*Catholicism
*Protestantism (tends to be more hidden, and more present in the first SG game)
*Judaism (temple, sacrifices, social order)
*Some actual elements of mysticism (these are more hidden in some of the symbology)
At the heart of it, I tried including some real life tension and social issues with race and with religious tolerance in SGG II (included extremism, hypocracy, and terrorism), and even more on a different scale in SSGG and the side game (showing layers of hypocracy, racism, reverse racism, national tension, faithlessness/faith searching, and doubt).
