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.

Shoshanna



God, as Creator of all, is also the creator of evil. If there were no evil,
there would be no free choise and no reward for overcoming evil. The idea of
there being a powerful, almost god-like, evil being that carries on a cosmic
struggle against God is a pagan one, which found its way into some parts of
post-biblical Judaism and from there into Christianity.


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.
