The modern worship of Baal?

[jimnyc]

Isn't avatar in some kind of real super duper religion?

Christianity?

I don't know who is a Ba'al expert. I am suspicious of this whole topic. I've seen some references to liberals being Ba'al worshippers, while also seeing Ba'al referred to as a demon.

This is probably just another liberal bashing thread.

With all due respect, my young lady, but where was liberals or liberal bashing taking place in this thread?

Read some of the articles about Ba'al worship. I've provided links. I can't be bothered watching avatars you tubes on the topic.

So you have no basis on which to comment about the OP then? But for that matter, neither do I.

In the vein of things that didn't interest me then but do now...

A strong argument that people are worshiping Baal without even realizing it.

In the context of finishing up Hosea, that was written in the times of the falls of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms, in Sunday school and loosely defining Baal as false god(s) then I think it's undeniable that people are worshiping baal. People these days are looking for reasons to specifically not believe in God but as I've heard it said if you don't believe in something you'll believe in anything.

If you don't believe in a deity then you'll put all your faith in science, you'll raise up the environment to the level of the Almighty, or maybe you'll put all your efforts in courting the love, likes of others via social media. People want to play god by demeaning people of God, by changing the creation of God, or by fitting God into their life instead of the other way around. (I'm pretty sure I could come up with examples from the left and the right so to discuss the larger point I refrained)

Hosea, the prophets, historical context of the bible. It's all as relevant today as it was then.

I guess if you're going to work on your response for 10 years, it needs to be a good one.

Excellent response

Man-made environment is not God. Natural environment is. IMO.
