"Fertility" better not be a front for Ba'al.

...Because the quickest thing my mind jumps to is conspiracies... Every major pagan god was associated with fertility, and we know how insidious their worshipers are. I guess it would obvious if they named the streets after Isis, Osiris, Gaia, Aphrodite, Ishtar, Moloch, and shit like that. If Burning Man gets overrun by fertility god cults, they might as well change the man to a golden calf.

I wouldn't worry. It's a statistical fact that only 21% of burners attending any burn pay the slightest attention to the theme.
