Describe moral dualism in the context of Zoroastrianism.
What will be an ideal response?
A foundational feature of Zoroastrianism is dualism, the notion that the cosmos is composed of two competing forces. From the beginning of the world, the Zoroastrian scriptures say, there have been two incompatible, antagonistic spirits in the world. One is the good God, Ahura Mazda; the other is a devil-like figure, Angra Mainyu. The Twin Spirits under Ahura Mazda made an ominous choice: The Bounteous Spirit chose to be truthful in thoughts, words, and deeds, but the Deceitful Spirit chose to be a follower of evil. When the Zoroastrian scriptures teach this dualism, it is always with a command to follow the good.
