I'm sorry, but I don't believe you know what that means (not the definition, but the life of someone without borders would live). (No offense intended)
Well, Yahweh was a bit harsh on his fellow gods.
Fellow gods????
You haven't told me what the 'Answer' is.
I think we should move on, this topic is about to get out of hand.
Balance is imperative; without it, total collapse and destruction is imminent.
The religions Judaism, Christianity and Islam are all monotheistic. I don't see how the Phoenicians and Canaanites have to do with this. (Side note: I don't know much about Baal apart from what the dictionary said)

They weren't though. Especially in the time they invaded Canaan they were obviously monolatrist, even if you just read the Bible. After all, how else can one explain not only the references to other gods but stuff like the first commandment? "Thou shallt not have other gods before me"?
"We didn't leave the Stone Age, because we ran out of stones."

Easy,we invented our own fictional gods,and then worship them beside the real one.

History aside, Yahweh could've said "thou shallt believe in me", yet he says "thou shallt not believe in the others". Freudian slip, much?
