When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
Here's a nice right wing article that claims all liberals are worshippers of Ba'al. I first heard of Ba'al on this thread.
And you think I'm the one picking a fight!
"While visiting the Rivermont Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Lynchburg, Va., a few weeks back, I heard a troubling, albeit thought-provoking, sermon. Pastor John Mabray addressed the ancient Canaanite practice of Baal worship and, though he didn’t reveal it by name, connected the dots to its present-day progeny: liberalism. Baal, the half-bull, half-man god of fertility, was the focal point of pagan idolatry in Semitic Israel until God revealed His monotheistic nature to Judaism’s forebears."

You thought enough of baal to start a thread on him. WTF are you doing?
Abortion on demand is
Abortion on demand is the Baal worship of modern times. King Ahab and Queen Jezebel led the Israelites in Baal worship and the sacrifice of children in the Old Testament. Ahaz went so far as to burn "his son as an offering" to Baal/Moloch, as did Manasseh (see 2 Kings 16:3; 21:6).

I'm not wanting a fight just some clarity,
you repeated the info of google search as if it was somewhat authoritative.
"Ba'al is a divine title in Hebrew. It means "master". Christians have demonized the term."
I among others think you are mistaken and have mentioned why.
You've posted links that say similar but not exactly, iassume you think those are somewhat authoritative, that's fine.
Any comments on what the Bible says about it, or do we just ignore that out of hand?
