Compare the three western religions in respect to good versus evil?

Answer 1

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all regard good as God's will, and all say that those who perform God's will are to be rewarded in heaven. Christianity and Islam go further, saying that those who do evil will go to hell. Judaism and Christianity regard humans as having free will to do good or evil, while Muslims are more likely to believe that one is subject to one's fate. Christians and Muslims regard Satan as the evil adversary of God, seeking to tempt people to perform evil, while Jews see Satan as the loyal assistant of God, tasked with testing the righteousness of the faithful

All three religions are faced with what philosophers call the problem of evil. If the universe was created by a God who is all-knowing, all-powerful and perfectly good, then there ought to be no evil in the world. Over the centuries, theologians have struggled with this dilemma, attempting to explain the existence of both God and evil.
