judaism/christianity is a knockoff of zoroastrianism. it was the first major religion to see the world as a battle between good and evil. and look what we have to deal with now.

judaism doesn't see the world as a battle between good and evil.

it doesn't acknowledge original sin nor the existence of a evil supernatural being.

the closest thing it has in that regard is human free will tainted with a small amount of evil desire.

i would hardly call judaism a battle between good and evil- christianity/islam, definitely much more so.
