Abstract
Even ancient religious conceptions involve good and bad supernatural forces. The Old Testament does not only base on the idea of one single God, but also introduces the concept of the Satan, embodying the bad and evil. The antagonisme between the good and bad principle dominates all our life. There always is a difference between pleasant and unpleasant events.
