Some kinds of government price supports for agricultural products work by paying farmers to leave their land fallow. Could this be a religious connection to something similar?
Or really, really, passionate advocacy of a low-carbohydrate diet?
Or it's a mixed metaphor. Symbol connections between nature and the divine are *always* mixed metaphors. Rain is a great symbol of fertility, and the destructiveness of storms doesn't change that. I like that image of the god of controlled fertility, setting a good example, presumably for grinning worshippers who will each have exactly 2 children.
