The Zoroastrian belief in dualism - 2 gods, 1 good (Ahura Mazda), 1 evil (Angra Mainyu) was co-opted by Judaism and also the concept of Hell. The Christians took the same duality and made God and Satan the adversaries instead and the idea of Hell still frightens the sh*t out of small children and adults to this day.
Most of the Bible is stolen texts from previously existing religions, such as Sumerian. The myth of the Hebrews was written into these Prue-existing stories.
How is Zoroastrianism similar to christian, jewish, and muslim beliefs?
