A Civil Ball
The word Baalzebul is the combination of two very ancient words: ball and civil. Baalzebul is not to be confused with the derogatory term Baalzebub. The goal was always a more civil ball. The followers of baal have had an impact on our language and thoughts. Allow me to demonstrate…
- Bawling: What happens when someone is bawling their eyes out? The people in the vicinity usually behave in a more civilized way. Bawling civilizes people. That’s Baalzebul.
- Ball Dances: When ball dances are thrown everyone attending is usually in their best attire and on their best behavior. The ball civilizes the people if just for one night. That’s Baalzebul. Ball + civil.
- Ball Games: Boys started being taught to play with balls because it civilizes them. Sports games are right alongside religion for the Japanese. Playing with a ball makes the people more civilized. That’s Baalzebul. Ball + civil
- Ball Drop: In New York City on New Year’s Eve gives people something to do and thus it keeps them more civil. Ball + civil.
- The Sun: Worshippers of the ball in the sky know an ancient and simple truth: the predators and criminals dont like the daylight. The ball in the sky keeps the whole world more civilized until it goes down for the day. That’s Baalzebul.
