anyone here know anything about it? looks interesting to me:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism
i think i'm gonna write my term paper on it.
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.
The abrahamic religions have zoraster influence. Check out this on Judaism, with respect to:
