      The Bible attributes the same property to the abrahamic god. Maybe someone confused oxygen with a deity?

        I saw an article a while back talking about how Yahweh was originally a volcano god. A lot of interesting comparisons- like pillar of fire, lightning, dark clouds…

        Maybe but it seems unlikely that people 2000+ years ago would have a way to refine pure oxygen.

      I don’t think oxygen makes stuff auto-combust. It’s very flammable and might corrode stuff, but still needs a flame.

        Increased presence of oxygen does lower the auto ignition temperature, for some substances to room temperature, so, yes and no I guess.
