So what if I firmly believe the Lord Cthulhu will rise from the sunken city of R'lyeh on a specific date to kill us all and then he doesn't show up? At some point, the "truth" in my head would meet...

It's so boring with these rewards. There is no god, so of course it can't reward you in any way. Whatever reward you can get from it is up to your capacity for self-delusion.
