Sure thing.
I'll scrounge up the firewood, you supply the sacrifice, and between us we should be able to get it raining by the end of the year.

How did Ba'al make it rain? I remember the story of Elijah or Elisha that said that he would hold out rain and all the other prophets of different gods tried to summon their gods to make it rain and it didn't. Only Elisha's God did. And then also the altar making it start on fire, I believe that it was Ba'al that was up against God and again there was nothing.

NO. It has already had its chance, and been proved useless. Ba'al, if it exists, is powerless as a spirit and worthless as a deity.
On top of that, the pantheon surrounding Ba'al demanded worship that was destructive to society: prostitution, child sacrifice,etc. Why would anybody want to bring this kind of misery back?

I don't understand why you are under the impression that Ba'al "used to make it rain"?
I don't think teaching others Ba'al worship as you call it, would help in any way at all.

Ba'al could not bring rain when Elijah shut up the heavens and could not send fire either.

Jeremiah 19
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
5 they have built also the high places of Ba'al, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Ba'al, Lev. 18.21 which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)

Baal couldn't make it rain--
and 450 pagan priest of King Ahab's were put to the sword by the Prophet Elijah.

Do not ever recall seeing a scripture stating that.
And no, thou shalt not worship false idols. It didn't say it was o.k. if you are hoping for rain.
God is the answer, the only answer.

Everyone knows that Bob, the mystic rooster, created the universe and has a monopoly on all weather-effects. They don't call him "The Great Weather C.o.c.k" for nothing. All hail Bob, death to the unbeliever!
PS, why does it blank out cock? When used as in "Weather Cock"? It's not like I'm saying "cock" to just say "cock". Jesus ******* christ!
