Yahweh is not Satan.
Ba'al is a *title*, ba'al was never a god. Ba'al in the OT usually refers to ba'al hadad and ba'al hamon. Ba'al means "lord". Ba'al became a colloquialism for the actual name, Ba'al Hammon/Hadad etc as time passed, but ba'al is not a deity. Much in the same way that God is not "Yahweh" in Europe but is Dios, Dieu, and Dio in Spanish, French, and Italian (which is a directly pagan derived name from Jupiter in and of itself, but nobody is saying that God is jupiter), some variant of "God/Gott/whatever" in germanic languages (unknown origin), Theos in Greek (from Zeus, pagan), and a variant of Bog in Slavic languages (unknown origin).
Yahweh is *THE* Ba'al. The same way he is the Lord, Adonai, God, Dio, Bog, or whatever other name you want to call Him. The Israelites *did* call Yahweh Ba'al... and? He is *THE* Ba'al. Technically, everyone in southern Europe is calling him Jupiter too.
Also, on another note, "El" isn't a God either. It's also a title with similar meaning to Ba'al, and one that was also given to Yahweh (Elohim). I know it wasn't mentioned but I figured I would bring it up.
There is also no etymological connection between Hovah meaning evil and Yahweh/Jehovah. HWH means "to be" in biblical Hebrew. *HVH* is what means "destruction", essentially. The entire word is transliterated wrong in most texts because historical Latin has "V" making a "W" sound and corresponding with the biblical Hebrew Waw. This doesn't work in English or indeed most languages except maybe German because V doesn't make this sound anymore even in romance languages, so it looks like a completely different consonant at the end. Hebrew also dropped waw and replaced it with vav when the language was recreated, which muddies it further. Quite possibly on purpose, because jews hate God.
Jehovah would be more accurately pronounced not with "hovah" but with "howah" , which is why I believe Yahweh is much more faithful than Jehovah as far as names go.
Pure Gnosticism is what this post is.
However, I do fully agree that the jews worship Satan. But they sure as *fuck* don't worship Yahweh.
