There's got to be something about the change to a male God since goddesses were associated with fertility and sex.
But how did male gods become asexual? Is it simply a matter of projecting sexuality on to women? On that face of it, it would seem that if a culture was interested in downplaying sexuality, that a God without any human qualities at all might be a better alternative.

It makes me think that Feuerbach has negative consequences for humanism. If God is humanity projected outward and wholeness is to be found by regaining those qualities for humanity, then regaining the qualities of Jahweh, Allah or the Trinity is going to produce a very strange human.
