>The cult of Jupiter Heliopolitanus evolved from the ancient Canaanite religion, particularly the worship of the storm and fertility god Baal-Hadad. Baal, meaning "lord" or "master," was a title used for various local deities, while Hadad was specifically revered as the god of rain, thunder, and storms, closely linked to agricultural fertility. Over time, the cult of Baal-Hadad in Baalbek acquired solar characteristics, possibly due to Hellenistic influences that equated Baal-Hadad with the Greek sun god Helios. This syncretism continued under Roman rule, with the deity further merging attributes with the Roman god Jupiter, culminating in the construction of a monumental temple complex dedicated to Jupiter Heliopolitanus in the second century AD. The temple was renowned for its oracular functions and served as a significant center of divination, with the cult of Heliopolitan Jupiter spreading throughout the Roman Empire.

>In early modern scholarship, a cult to a supposed Heliopolitan Triad of Jupiter Heliopolitanus, Venus Heliopolitana, and Mercury (or Dionysus) was thought to have originated in ancient Canaanite religion, adopted and adapted firstly by the Greeks, and then by the Romans when they colonized the city of Heliopolis (modern Baalbeck) in the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon. The Canaanite god Baʿal (Hadad) was equated with Jupiter Heliopolitanus as sun-god, Astarte or Atargatis with Venus as his wife, and Adon, the god of spring, with either Mercury or Dionysus as third member of the triad, son of Heliopolitan Venus and Heliopolitan Jupiter.[34] Scholarly reexamination of the archaeological and iconographic evidence suggests that the notion of a Heliopolitan Triad is a modern scholarly artefact, deriving from Roman perceptions of functional similarities between their own and local deities, the naming of local deities after Roman ones, and Roman deities after local ones, sometimes on very slender grounds.[35] There is, however, no archaeological, epigraphic or iconographic evidence for any stable, familial or functionally effective triple grouping within the native Heliopolitan or Canaanite pantheons, and none for the clear equivalence of leading Roman and Heliopolitan deities either prior to the likely Roman occupation during Rome's civil wars, in Julius Caesar's time at the earliest, or its promotion as a colony some 100 years later.
So it’s just gay retcon bullshit. Just worship Zeus/Jupiter if you’re keen to.

Baal is just an honorific meaning lord. You’re just trying to be edgy and trigger the Christians.
