[Shoshanna Walker <rosewalk AT concentric.net>]

What is in my version?  NOT an almost g-d-like being that carries on 
a cosmic struggle against G-d.  I don't even agree that evil is an 
independent existence.

Understood, although I might dispute the origin of this idea. But it
seems to be in Shoshanna's version of Judaism, if not yours, as well as
in my Christianity.
