"Jesus being in many ways derived from Baal"
I recall Baal being a daemon/devil/naughty boy - as described by followers of Christianity.

- thaumasiotes 3y agoWhy would one of you need to be mistaken? Ba'al is just an ordinary word meaning "lord" in several Semitic languages. Various Semitic gods are given the title. It is not surprising in the slightest that many traits of the Semitic god Jesus would derive from the traits of other Semitic gods, nor is it surprising that Christians would demonize non-Christian gods.
