Another theme of Lovecraft’s was that of degeneration. He often wrote about human beings degenerating to rat-like creatures, living in warrens, sewers and burrows. Mutatis mutandis, this conjures up images of the last days of the anthroposaurs, as they degenerated to contorted ciphers of their former selves.

Often, the leaders and practitioners of absolutist religions were unable to perceive any middle ground or recognize that the truth might draw upon and embrace apparently contradictory doctrines.
