<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1336199, member: 26302&quot;]Well the Christians got it from the Jewish people. Ba&#039;al Zabul was the patron god of people living on the coast. Remember the Jews were an inland people, and didn&#039;t have a coastline. When the Jewish kingdom expanded westward toward the coast, they ran into these ba&#039;al zabul worshipers.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, this is what is cool about history. If you dig enough into a story, there is always more to it, most things are never &quot;just because&quot;. There are just so many millions of little stories like this, no one knows them all. I find historical perversions like this all of the time. Another one is the phrase &quot;parting shot&quot;. Its supposed to be &quot;Parthian shot&quot; due to the way Parthian horse archers would shoot at you while they were running away at full gallop, (usually leading you into an ambush).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
