If that were true, then we'd be at a loss to explain all of the misery inflicted upon man -by man- in service of the "wrath of god", with god as their justification, and as conceived by them to be virtue according to their god. The things that people believe about gods matter -regardless of whether or not their gods exist. To claim otherwise is to remove yourself from this conversation (as we'd have nothing to talk about from either of our angles).
Lovecraft isn't a "prophet" or a messiah - and if muslims considered the author of the qu'ran to be on par with Lovecraft (and the qu'ran to be works of fiction - as Lovecrafts) then you wouldn't hear me bitching about them at all, save for the odd remark about how boring and dross the qu'ran was as a narrative (similar to Lovecraft). On the other hand, don't tell Cthulu I said that, he might fuck me up, properly. He will anyway.......of course.
