Welcome to /zg/, Zoroastrian general, how can one think he can have a strong founded belief in a political ideology without having a moral compass?
I set up a Discord that way if you want to ask me something it will make it easier for us to talk. There all also other resources linked there.

>Frequently asked questions
>I thought conversions aren't allowed Only the Parsis (Zoroastrians in India) do not allow conversions, and this is not because of teachings but because they swore never to convert anyone to their religion when they entered India. The Gathas clearly indicate that Zoroastrianism can be adopted by anyone.
>What is your view on homosexuality. It is one of the worse sins in Zoroastrianism. Infact you can be executed for it.
>Views on race Zoroastrians believe that one can only marry within race and religion. Anything else is forbidden.
>Views on God God is called "Ahura Mazda". He is all good and righteous.In Zoroastrianism there is duality between good and evil. All pain in suffering in the world is caused by each mans actions. We can either choose to listen to Ahura Mazda, or fall into deception and deceit and follow the path that leads to destruction.
>Views on afterlife One who has lived by good deeds and actions will enter into heaven. Those who live by evil deeds will enter hell. There is a bridge in the afterlife called "Chinvat", the more good deeds you do the wider the bridge will be. The evil deeds you do make the bridge thiner. If you fall you will fall into the hell until end times when everyone will be purified.

I know some Parsees in India. Based people, very friendly to Christians and redpilled on mudslimes

"No."

It depends on where you are and such, but it can happen.
Everybody have a bump for the true prophet.
Caleb Jackson
I'm only shilling for God my friend.
Chase Ortiz
Which text is that from? I doubt it's from the Gathas.

Vikings were described as Zoroastrians by Muslim scholars. In fact, most Germanicist see a keen influence from Zoroastrianism on Germanic religion (particularly as evinced in the Voluspa).

Hey Zoroastrian user, what do you guys think of magic, as you were tightly associated with it in the ancient world.
Kayden Gray
It's not good to treat all of the Zend-Avesta on the same level as the Gathas. I think some degree of modernization is needed. Also, I prefer Mazdak's reforms to be honest with you.
Nathan Reyes

All these fellow /zorobros/ today. I hate to sound like I'm shilling but I set up a Discord and would like to create a community of fellow Zoroastrians. The code is zAwsCpE

Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Nolan Perry
Magic as in witchcraft spells are considered sinful and blasphemy towards God.
Dylan Davis
Jews and Cuckstians ripped off a lot of shit from that religion.
Hudson Scott
I have the Zend-Avesta.
Caleb Brown
I have proposed that Zoroaster is identified in the Bible as Melchizedek who was called a high priest and whom Abraham sought a blessing from. Any thoughts? Sorry I keep dumping this on your thread but it seems a good place to discuss
Luke Flores
Only thing worse then a shia dog is a majoosi
Owen James
Doesn't Zoroastrianism says it is holy to have sex with your sibling?
Logan Ward
Abraham was most likely born before Zoroaster though Zoroastrianism became an organized religion way before Judaism did.
Parker Robinson
Ironically this is the most famous Zoroastrian ever.
Sebastian Gutierrez
>Abraham was most likely born before Zoroaster though Zoroastrianism became an organized religion way before Judaism did.
The existence of an historical Abraham is doubtful at best. The Jews has a penchant for fiction--see Exodus. The same cannot be said about Zoroaster.
Jackson Turner
The three magi kings who worshiped Jesus were also Zoroastrians.
William Young

no real evidence abraham existed i dont think

I understand that but was still giving the Bible the benefit of the doubt.

I found out Freddie was dead, gay, and a Zoroastrian in that order.

Seems the Christian god has always been kind to righteous zoroastrians. I always thought it odd Melchizedek being sought for a blessing essentially seeming to be identified as a monotheist and then people like king Darius being kind to the Jews and of course the three wisemen as you say. Avestan seems to have more in common with Christianity than Islam that displaced them but get thrown into the abrahamic umbrella.
Noah Hughes

Pick one and only one.
Adrian Johnson
Could someone knowledgeable recommend a reading order for Zoroastrianism? Not necessarily focusing too much on following the religion in a spiritual sense, but instead getting a pretty complete cultural/literary understanding?

BRO!
Jonathan Turner
If you didn't grow them plants for /Ahura Mazda/ then it didn't count. Sorry.
Hudson Young
No Melchizedek was an ancient incarnation of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Then who built the Kaaba you dumb fuck?
Juan Wilson
>persia has always been a barren wasteland Such faithful people. No wonder the Ummah conquered them and brought them Islam.
Owen Price
Not as far as I know, just a random guy who really likes the man and knows a little history. But if there's more German Zoros on here right now I have likely contributed to that a bit.
Asher Robinson
The official doctrine is that conversion is a no-go. Why proselytize with a thread?
Jaxson Morgan
Find where it says that in scripture.
Chase Miller
My recommendations: 1) Zarathustra and Zoroastrianism by Michael Stausberg 2) Richard Foltz's Religions of Iran: From Prehistory to the Present 3) Gathas from the Avesta, avesta.org has a good translation
