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.

Also, building a statue of Baal and then burning it is just standard Baal-worship.

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

I was about to say, Baal heavily approves of this action
