This post illustrates the typical xtian failure to understand reality. Nature is cyclical. Creation depends on weeding out the weak and subjecting the strong to challenges that force the strong to become even stronger by overcoming "evil" or destroys them, thus creating an opportunity for something new and even stronger to arise. Pagan mythology reflected reality.
Understand that about reality and you understand the jews role in the grand scheme of things.
Xtians insist on seeing the world as a finished product. Their God created man as he is, a finished product. Man has no real purpose in this world except to prepare for a mythical afterlife. Reality is otherwise. Man is but a brief segment of a very long path that not only stretches back into the mists of the past but is also a bridge to the future. Man's real purpose is his becoming, his obligation to the future of life in THIS world.
