Would it be a better to believe in no Gods than to believe in the wrong God and so anger a God you not only rejected but rejected for another?

No, because Baal doesn't exist. Neither does God or Satan. They are all myths.
Yes, this is yet another serious flaw in the lame Pascal's Wager argument.
Have you been reading Richard Dawkin's book, "The God Delusion"? He used the same example.

Depends on what you believe. Some say yes to avoid Gods wrath, but then again you'd get it anyway for avoiding him. In that case it's a lose/lose situation with a crap shoot for the right God to worship. Doesn't seem all that fair doesn't it. And, although Life may not be fair, you would think God is with his justice. On the other hand. God gave you free will, so why would he be upset if you used it and chose the wrong path, even though you felt it right. God knows your heart and the direction you going.
Baal is a fictional demon from the bible. If you believe in Baal, then you have to believe in Jesus. so why would Baal punish those who are right.

No because that is his father El's job
edit on morita below; Baal is actually the Babylonian Son of the great God El. Baal was a God of Storms and fertility, not Lunar. The story was highjacked, toned down and made into Jesus.

You know this question would have to be among the first that has displayed some degree of thought behind it. Kudos buddy, kudos.
In the end it would probably be better to believe in no gods at all, and in some parts of our world it may even be less life-threatening; but man as man will always try and put some type of significance to the unexplained. This is a throwback to our collective caveman origins, and even though aeons have passed since man first began to search for "the answer to life, the universe and everything"; it would appear that we as a race of "intelligent" beings still have not arrived at an answer worthy of satisfying those of the ilk of "The amazing Randi", who, last I heard, had still not given away his $1 million for concrete and dare I say empirical, evidence of the paranormal.
Coincidence?

It is better to believe in the only true God..Baal was a myth..have you ever heard about any prophets, scriptures or anything similar comming from other than the God of Jews, Christians and Muslims?

Baal wouldnt care who anyone else believes in if you ask me anyways. Baal doesnt really give a crap about earth anyways and sooner just leave it alone all together.

Baal is dead and Satan is going down fast. You can read about his future in the Bible. Just read the end of the Book.

i heard from someone in an answer that baal is the moon god in babylon times, and mohamad choose it and named it allah, hence the moon and star symbol as their religion symbol. sounds logical.

Maybe you should believe in -a- god, a supernatural being that created you. Instead of putting a name to it, you just believe in the idea. That way you won't divinely piss anyone off.

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:1
There are no other Gods, and yes....Satan does exist!
