          That would imply Judaism copied Zoroastrianism’s homework. Since they came around the same time, it would be something else. Zoroastrianism should be AmigaOS. Judaism should be Unix. Would islam be Solaris? Would Wahhabism be Solaris post oracle?

              I guess. But it feels very different from Judaism as best as I can tell. And Zoroastrianism is still seperate from the big 3 monotheistic religions.

                The guy is really just not right about that. There was a lot of cultural mixing going around back in the early iron age, but Judaism borrowed much more from the Egyptians, Babylonians, and the Greeks than they did the Persians. And it also has a lot of very unique features as well.

                Yes there was also cultural exchange with the Persians that found it’s way into Judaism, but it’s just not correct to say it’s a copy.

        What would Islam be? Gnu Herd?

        Edit: I made the joke in a different comment but Islam would be Solaris and Wahhabism would be post oracle Solaris.
