Baal Pe’or. Lord of “the hole”, or as the rabbis hint, the rectum.

Talmudic traditions
If Pe‘or is connected to the Hebrew stem p‘r ‘open’, used both of mouth and bowels, it might mean ‘opening’ and so Ba‘al Pe‘or could mean ‘Lord of the Opening’. This apparent meaning is probably the source of Talmudic traditions associating Ba‘al Pe‘or with exposure and excrement. The tractate Sanhedrin 64a attributes to Rab through Rabbi Judah the story of a sick Gentile woman who vowed to worship every idol in the world if she recovered. Upon recovery she set out to fulfill her vow, but drew back at Pe‘or as the rites disgusted her: eating beets, drinking strong drink, and then uncovering oneself.
A story follows about a Jew who showed his contempt for the god by wiping his behind on its nose after defecating in the temple and who was praised for his piety by the acolytes of the god who said: no man has ever before served this idol thus. Tractate ‘Avodah Zarah 3 states in the Gemara that the area before the idol Pe‘or was used as a latrine and that the worship of the idol consisted of excrementing before it. Rashi comments on Numbers 25.3 that Pe‘or was so called because they would uncover before it the end of the rectum and bring forth excrement; this is its worship.

I imagine this really drew the flies so the name Baalzebub (Lord of the flies) works.
I wonder if this religion is another guise for homo perversion? Or if perhaps all forms of perversions simply intersect no matter where they start from?
Certainly Abortion and Homosexuality seem to have waxed in our society at the same time. Both play very well into the Malthusian nature of Liberalism. So does Gai Worship, Global Warming, and bans on DDT. (environmentalism)
Pretty much everything Liberals promote connects with death and decay of humans in some fashion.
But they came to Baal-peor,
and consecrated themselves to a thing of shame,
and became detestable like the thing they loved.
Ephraim’s glory shall fly away like a bird:
no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
Even if they bring forth children,
I will bereave them until no one is left.
Woe to them indeed
when I depart from them!
Once I saw Ephraim as a young palm planted in a lovely meadow,
but now Ephraim must must bring forth his children for slaughter.
Give them, O Lord---
what will you give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
and dry breasts.
Evidently, whatever it was they did brought on reproductive catastrophe.
Sounds like some kind of infectious plague that would make some of them infertile, lead others to miscarriage or stillbirth, or result to the death of their infants at a young age.
Bacterial infection? Retrovirus? Divine judgment in the most just way possible, by natural and logical consequences of their own choices,
Whatever: if the wanted sterile sex, they got what they wanted. Good and hard.
