The Carthaginians had a gruesome practice of child sacrifice at places called tophets. If this was a matriarchal society (I don't think it was), it was not one anyone wants to emulate.

So does our society, only they're called reproductive health clinics.

***************

Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son to God. The Bible tells us that Jesus was offered as a sacrifice to God to excuse the sins of man.

Sacrificing your children isn't an exclusively matriarchal practice.

"The Carthaginians had a gruesome practice of child sacrifice at places called tophets."

Now we call them abortion clinics.
