The Muslims say the same thing, that their passages are taken out of context and used without supporting versus. So I guess religions are not that different after all. One could take a passage written some 2000 years ago, during a time of peace, or in Islam a time of war, and twist it to be ugly you SEE.

You are taking all scripture here out of context. It is obvious that your perception is all wrong. Maybe you need to do more studying rather than playing the 'pick-n-choose' game. Nu?

They are all Patriarchal and they all derive from the Judaic root so they have to be sexist.
The dominant male role in the formation of social groups has led religious beliefs to follow similar paths, possibly as a way to reinforce the dominance of the Patriarchal system as being empowered by God or possibly simply a recognition of the status quo.
It does not make the system right or unchangeable but it does reflect the major western development pattern.
Eastern Dharmic religions do not share the same male based attitudes but more tend to ignore sexuality in terms of spirituality and treat it as a totally independent phenomenon.
For example, Buddhism does not have positive or negative opinions on masculinity, femininity, homosexual or lesbian orientations and does not connect any of these with spirituality. Being gay and a Buddhist is not a conflict.

I am a Muslim. However I would like to answer your question in short and to the point. Christians are not discriminatory against women as a tradition. Jews I do not know so I would not like to comment. Muslims? Yes most of the muslims unfortunately are discriminatory against women though this is not what The Holy Quran teaches them. This is a traditional evil among various communities which will take lot of time to mellow down.

Where are you getting your information from? John 18:29 says "29So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What charges are you bringing against this man?"
SO WHERE the heck are you getting "abandon your wife and family for jesus and he'll give you a big reward"

Yeah, to an extent. You just named all 3 of the main abrahamic religions, all of which are based around the same astrological ideals and stories. They're all just variants of each other.

Hmmmm, Yes.
The answer is sort of in the question, isn't it?
There are dozens upon dozens of more examples to support you point here.
If you think that treating women as chattel (property) is a little sexist, then the answer is definitely yes.

I think to an extent they all are, but I'm an Atheist. The religions all reflect the archaic times it seems. You seem to only reference Christianity, sources for the other religions would be appreciated.

These quotes are taken out of context and are like sound bites . If you read the verses before and after them you will see the true meaning...,,,,,,,, if you really want to see the truth.

What freak *** Bible studies have you been taking?
Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Wisdom is always personified as female.
The early church fathers refered to themselves as brides of Christ.
Those virgins you speak of were not for the groom they were the bridesmaids you idiot.
Jesus did not tell Mary not to touch Him because she was female.
He never commanded anyone to abandon their wives and childeren.
Over half of your so called references don't even reference a book of the bible and the other half you've rewritten and perverted.
