For reference, for those not well-versed in ancient gods of the Old Testament,
Baal: an ancient god of rain/weather/climate (and, to a lesser extent, fertility, as in the connection rain gave to botanical growth)
Moloch: a god most often associated with ancient child sacrifice, often by consuming the child with fire. Was said to lead to greater material security and better quality of life for those who adhered to such sacrifices. (Assumedly, for the sacrificers, not the sacrificed.)
Ashtoreth: a god of fertility, often recognized by cultural references such as rods (poles) set out to promote sexuality and extra-marital sexual relationships.
There you have it: Climate, infanticide and sex.
Or, as has been written in ancient text:
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Well done. Beat me to it.
