I know that the bible has ancient roots...
From the beginnings like Genesis, Creation of man, flood myth, moses as babe in the river, ... about the idea of a good, pardoning god (the babylonian sun god Ŝamaŝ / Jehova is not pardoning, he is cruel, unfogiveable, revengeful as you can read in the old testament) up to the idea of sacrifice of a god for the humanity (jesus) you can find nearly every bible text or concept in much older mesopotamian tablets
but you messed something up with Astarte and Baal (both phenician gods, however related to mesopotamian religion).
With the jehovah - satan stuff you are refering to Enlil and Enki?
