I think we should discern between two different topics here. First, there is the matter of infanticide and the ratio of girls to boys. Second, there is question if the bible is sexist.

Let's discuss - if we so desire - the infanticide matter here. And leave the bible out of it. Or start another topic on it. Anyway, I don't think we should mix topics here.

Oh, and by the way, I didn't take offense at you quoting an example from Germany. Not at all. After all, I was just as shocked as you were when I read about it. I didn't even expect someone might think I might take offense. But I do consider Germany my home ground, and I do indeed think that I understand what's going on here (in Germany) better than someone from another country. That's not meant to say that you don't have any right to say what you think, or that it has to be horribly wrong, but only that, sometimes, there are things you might (or might not) overlook.
