That's much closer to accurate than the u/Mrexreturns title of OP.
The tweet is saying communism resembles centralized authority (communism loses the thread because human dictators are not known to be sufficiently benevolent). Baal however was the rebel like Zeus and demanded child sacrifice as an act of rebellion against the social order rather than as Abraham's (complex) demonstration of submission of his son's fate to Yahweh.
So it appears OP has fallen for the other lie that Baal equals Yahweh, which only comes up because (1) Yahweh claims original rights to all positive titles like "baal" or lord, and (2) There is an animus against Old Testament religion that, for obvious atheistic reasons, wants to pretend Yahwism originated as and was nothing more than the worst of what we now know as Baalism. With the help of evolutionists who have excised Genesis 1-11, they believe covenant theology has no foundation in the communal history of creation and cataclysm (Peter said they wilfully forget), and then recast Abraham as a fictional ideal of mere Canaanites from Ham. Do they not even teach comparative religion in high school any more?
OP is a militant atheist that's why. He twists everything because of this. Had he any knowledge of the true teaching of the Church, he'd know that the God of Abraham (who is Trinity/Yahweh and not the god of judaism who is Satan/Lucifer) is the reason we don't have human sacrifices in Christian society.
At the time of Abraham people used to sacrifice their children to the pagan gods (like Baal, Molloch, Remphan/Saturn). Prior to the covenant Abraham was a pagan himself and likely participated in such rituals. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son to test his loyalty but provided him with an animal sacrifice in place of his son* which taught Abraham that He wasn't like the other deities and didn't require human sacrifice. This is God's covenant with Abraham.
*This is foreshadowing God sacrificing His own Son for us - He does what He didn't ask from Abraham proving that His love and self-sacrifice far exceeds ours.
Very good, Winston. It's essential to know why Abraham trusting God was so different from all the folks around who trusted their own righteous works to be satisfactory to their gods. I do suggest a bit of language tweak, in that lucifer (translation of helel) is more the god of Judaizing than of Judaism as we define those words today, and is a title for satan; and Remphan (probably Rephaim) and Saturn (Chiun) came much later than Abraham, in whose time baal and moloch were still relatively generic titles for several gods. So it's pretty twisty. Some Jews are willing to say their god is in fact named Yahweh, and if they have the guts to say that then Yahweh will hold them to their confession for good or ill. Some Jews and some others are so unwilling to describe their god that they may as well be offering to Dagon, who was one of the oldest and most clearly distinguished Canaanite deities among the baalim.
No, it's Talmudic. Big difference.
