god is definitely real... but not how you think  ba'al is the same thing as yhwh. yhwh is the sanitized, safer version to be consumed by the plebeians. ba'al was there first, it's much older. he's the og. if the elite really do sacrifice to him/tanit, it's probably because it actually works, for whatever their purposes are. especially if they're been doing it for thousands of years.
