Did you know Baal (which means lord) was also called Beelzebub (lord of the flies) because his blood soaked idols used to attract flies?

@DiscordianKitty Baal is better translated as master (usually seen as ha-Baal, the master), in counterpoint to Adonai, usually "lord"1 reply 1 retweet 2 likes -

@DiscordianKitty of course, "Adonai" is actually a plural form, "my lords", but that's been scrubbed from history for the sake of monotheism1 reply 1 retweet 2 likes
