I'm beyond amazed at where I'm at finally I feel so free at 24 after years of oppression

I’m an atheist lurker, formerly Christian. The water seems so metaphorical in this picture. It looks so freeing, clean, and clear just like how your mind must feel now that your past is that, the past. I hope this newfound freedom is amazing!
Don't ever compared Mohammed a bloodthirsty warmongering pedophile rapist with the Lord Jesus who said if we harm a child it is better for us to be thrown in the ocean with stones tied to our feet and He also said let these little ones come to me for theirs is the kingdom of God who taught us to turn the other cheek and love our neighbour... Judge the religion by it's teachings in its book and its founder... Always go to the source... The disciples of Jesus never waged war but some died by stoning, beheading, crucifixion( upside down), being burned alive and Jesus said on the cross forgive them Father for they know not what they do for God to forgive the people who spit on him, beat him, made him wear the crown of thorns, mocked him, crucified Him... Stephen also followed Jesus example when he was being stoned to death.
Mohammed abolished adoption because he lusted after his son in law's wife and could marry her... Mohammed didn't allow his wives to be remarried after his death and left Aisha to be a widow forever at 18... Mohmmed said we are nothing but slaves of allah but Jesus said we are adopted into heaven as God's children... He said because we are not only slaves but sons and daughters of God so we live in our Fathers House forever and ever... The Qur'an says a woman is men's field and they can plough her at will and their body belongs to the men but the Bible says husbands belong to their wives and wives belong to their husbands, FORBIDS polygamy which takes strength loyalty and true love to stay true be loyal to and LOVE ONE WOMAN FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE... The Bible says a man and woman unite to become one flesh just like the Church is Christ's bride... Do you see how women are treated and viewed in Christianity?? They are dignified, respected, have and get treated with the same human dignity and love as a man and have an equal status and contribution to society as a man... PERIOD.
Contrast this with the teachings of the sex and death cult Arabian pagan god allah and his beloved Mohammed in the Qur'an... He said stone women who commit adultery what did Jesus say?? YOU WHO ARE WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE... Jesus talked to the woman at the well, the unclean woman who touched His garment wasn't scolded by Him but He talked to her with Love and she expected to be scolded and reprimanded because she was an unclean woman in a patriarchal society... Mary is considered the best women and blessed among creatures.
In muslim countries that follow the Shariah strictly( which is 99% of the countries) apostates are put to death, thieves hands are cut off, blasphemers, lgbtq people, women who commit adultery are put to death... Women who don't wear hijab are lashed with whips, can't go out without their husbands, etc... These are the true, correct, genuine, accurate teachings of Islam and the Shariah law and these are just the tip of the iceberg... Mohammed also said a dog, a donkey and a woman nullify prayer and two women's intelligence is equal to that of a man and majority of hellfire occupants will be women.
Don't even try to compare your so called "oppression" in a western Christian country where women have the most rights and even people in general including men and the lowest of the low like thieves murderers are given basic human rights like right to life, treated with basic human dignity for simply being humans you know why?? Because your country was founded on judeo Christian values that says we are all made in God's image so even the people who society considers as scum are treated with basic human dignity simply for being human... Consider yourself blessed... Jesus is the most beautiful most wonderful and His Love you can't even imagine.
Bro no one even said anything about Christianity. As a Christian please stop making us look insane.
