Baal
From RationalWiki
The title “Baal” in the Bible could refer to any local god. Literally the word simply means “master” or “lord” and consequently every local tribe would have their own “Baal”.
He turns up in another incarnation as Ba‘al Zebûb (literally “Lord of Zebûb”), and subsequently as Beelzebub, again proving that Christians can't spell.
Later Christians converted him into the demon Baal - an assistant of Satan, or Satan himself.
While the ancient Israelites were on their way from Egypt to the promised land (and after they arrived) they were constantly looking for ways to get into Baal's good books - but exactly why Baal was such an attractive deity for the ancient Israelites is a bit of a puzzle. They had ample evidence of the existence of God as he had killed thousands of them personally while they were on their way to the promised land and after they arrived.
Oh. Ahh, yes I see.
