Today, in a symbolic act, Iranians set fire to the flags of Israel and the United States, as well as an obelisk and a statue of Baal—which they described as a symbol of Satan—in various cities across Iran in response to the release of the Epstein documents.

        Exactly. That’s how sacrifice worked. You burned shit to give it to the gods. These guys just gave Baal a really nice statue of Satan to put in his living room.

        I’d totally have this be a valid form of worship if I were a god. Especially if they cook hot dogs and marshmallows over it

      No, that’s just monotheism. All “pagan” gods are Satan to these mouth breathers.
