It is entirely unacceptable to Judaism. Judaism teaches that there are no competing powers. God is completely in control. There is no dualistic notion of an powerful anti-G-d figure on equal footing with G-d. We do believe that Satan wants to become like G-d and be worshiped. (snip) In Chrstianity, G-d is in complete control as well. You can ask any Chrstian that.

"According to Zoro-aster, Ahu-ra Maz-da created the universe and the cosmic order that he maintains. He created the twin spirits Spen-ta Main-yu and Ang-ra Main-yu (Ahr-iman)--the former beneficent, choosing truth, light, and life, the latter destructive, choosing deceit, darkness, and death. The struggle of the spirits against each other makes up the history of the world. . . .According to Zoroa-ster the world was soon to be consumed in a mighty conflagration from which only the followers of the good would rise to share in a new creation. Until this came to pass, the souls of those who died would cross the Bridge of the Requiter from whence the good would be led to wait in heaven, the wicked in hell.
