Wrong. In ancient times, gods of war were embodiments of the raw, brutal, and personal nature of conflict. They represented things like honor, valor, strategy, and bloodshed on the battlefield. War gods like Ares, Mars, or Odin were not about distant, impersonal weaponry. They thrived in direct, close combat.
A warhammer makes sense as a symbolic weapon, closer to a god's association with strength and combat prowess, but the nuke button? That’s a weapon of mass destruction, distant, anonymous, and detached from the very essence of the personal valor that these gods were about. A god of war would not press a button to end conflict; they'd likely be leading the charge themselves. A nuke represents the dehumanization of warfare, far removed from the gods who were often associated with personal courage and the primal thrill of battle.
Fertility deities in most ancient traditions were symbols of life, abundance, and nature. Virginity symbolized untapped potential and the raw power of creation, while a mother in the fields embodies nurturing, growth, and the cycle of life.
A Victoria’s Secret model or Miss World, however, represents something very different: objectified, commodified sexuality that focuses on beauty and appearance, not fertility in its true, earth-based, life-giving sense. While there’s a certain connection between fertility and sexuality, the modern commercialized and objectified version of sexuality has nothing to do with the deep, primal, and sacred qualities of fertility gods. Fertility gods didn’t necessarily embody "sexual attraction" in the modern sense. They were about cycles, crops, life forces, and ensuring prosperity, not the packaged, idealized image of beauty sold by corporations.
The role of the blacksmith god was about connection to the earth and working with raw materials, whereas microchips and robots are about abstraction, precision, and systems of logic that don’t invoke the same kind of primal, elemental forces.
