We're on Judaism in my World Religions class this week. Many people are claiming (probably because the book gave them the wrong idea) that Judaism teaches that we just have to be more good than bad to gain forgiveness, or to have more good deeds than bad in order to be fine with God and get into the afterlife.
But if that's the case, why were Adam and Eve removed from Eden? Surely they did more good than bad, yet God punished them for one act of disobedience. God seems a little too intolerant of evil to let someone get away with it just because they did a little more good than bad.
