The Christians were not marrying 4 wives and cutting people’s hands off 600 years before Islam. These are Arab ideas that somehow ended up in the new religion.

And they are not improvements!!

I see Islam as going BACKWARDS from Christianity on morality in many ways
The Christians were also able to write their entire text 300 years before Mohammed even came around. Yet the Arabs could not figure out how to write any type of book by the year 652. The technology was clearly there.

This explains a lot of early Christian polemical stereotypes
Early Christian polemical stereotypes portray Arabs as brutish, dumb, savages. Piecing together a strange religion in real time in order to establish legitimacy in a new world in which they suddenly found themselves a powerful nation amidst crumbling neighboring empires.
Early Christian sources give us a one-sided glimpse into how the religion came to be in the early days. With a combination of old pagan practices, and whatever stories Mohammed may have heard throughout his journeys. The Qu’ran is rife with butchered Jewish/Christian stories.
And as we glimpse at the modern world and see which religion has brought us the most terror, which cultures are still stuck against homosexuality, which cultures still struggle with women’s rights. You realize that Islam is not an improvement, and they still have a long way to go
Early Christian history is about suffering, persecution, humble disciples, a struggling faith. The earliest Islamic history is called “The Expeditions” and it is nothing more than an account of each and every raid the early Muslims did. They were just pillaging their neighbors
As the Christian empires were weak, this new savage people actually made their way to Jerusalem, tore down monuments, and decided to build a new shrine on top of an established holy site as a middle finger to Christians /Jews. Thus sparking so many problems for our modern world.
So, in conclusion. The world would be a much better place without Islam or Mohammed. That religion is particularly backwards; as we STILL find ourselves debating things with Muslims that the modern world has long moved beyond

Islam doesn’t help the world. It uniquely HURTS it
Remember, I have been a devout follower of both religions, and an observer for my entire life. I have a unique perspective on Abrahmic Religion that I think very few people have. My perspective, background, life, and travels give me the unique ability to comment in this way.
