"He who sows the ground with care and diligence acquires a greater stock of religious merit than he could gain by the repetition of ten thousand prayers."
Welcome to the first of many /zg/, Zoroastrian generals. How can one think he can have a strong founded belief in a political ideology without having a moral compass?
>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.

Sure, here's a quick rundown
>Be Zarathustra, spread true religion of peace and wisdom throughout Persia >Gain bunch of followers, become largest organized religion in ancient world >Judaism steals all our teachings, we don't really care though >Some Pedophile comes out of Arabia and says "convert or die" we said cool and sailed to India (which we predicted) >Remaining Zoroastrians in Persia are persecuted until current year >End of the world end next 50-200 years according to Zarathustra >A noble man will rise in the middle east one last time to try and restore order before we are blown to bits

The video talks about Persian influence on the Greek Golden Age.
Is Zoroastrianism the root of all religions east of India?
Jayden Thompson
west of India*
I'm retarded
Carter Morgan
This is heathenry.
The Bible is God's word. Full stop.
Colton Collins
It is the root of every religion after it's time. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. That man is also a very good speaker, I would recommend anyone who is interested listen to him.
Gavin Edwards
Thanks. Who or what is your deity? Is he different from (((Abraham))) so God?
Carson Bennett
Make Iran Great Again.
Jordan Jones
Yes, he is not at all like the god of Abraham. His name is Ahura Mazda which translates to Wise Lord.
Jose Bennett
Religion native to the land of Persia prosecuted and destroyed.
I know that feeling; Norse Religion deserved better than to be cucked by monks and powerhungry traitors.
Christopher Barnes
Did Azura Mazda create his evil opposite, or is your religion truly dualistic? Can I get a quick rundown on your creation story, especially in regards to metaphysics?
Humata, Hukhta, Huvarshta, which mean: Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds. There is only one path and that is the path of Truth. Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do, and then all beneficial rewards will come to you also.
Pretty good desu
Jack Anderson
Eat shit and fucking die, faggot. The Abrahamic faiths just stole and ripped off Mesopotamian, Zoroastrian, Egyptian, and Hellenistic religious ideals.
Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Marxist "Atheists" are all servants of the Demiurge, and everyone's getting sick of your fucking bullshit.
Noah Brown
Fuck off kike.
Ryder Lee
Funny how a Pagan is calling me a heathen.
Ian Lopez
Zoroastrianism does sounds pretty interesting.

Why does religion have to do the: "Everyone will be blown to bits except us true believers" Apocalypse gives no hope.
Lincoln Perez
Are you sure about that?
Gabriel Cooper
Do I really need to reconquer all of sassanid persia in order to become Saoshyant?
Jordan Reed
Better start now, no time to waste.
Brandon Long
How do you officially convert?
Logan Bennett
It's the hope of being saved when the apocalypse comes. Same reason people pay money to get scares. Fear and hope work hand in hand and religicucks respond to that
Jose Fisher
Traditionally speaking it is done by attending a ceremony, if you are going off the Holy books all you need to do is recite a creed to a Zoroastrian. If you are looking to convert I can help you out with that.
Cooper Sanders
persia was christian and zorastrian and desert mongol religions before mr jihad went there
Brandon Nguyen
Zoroastrianism is a logical religion but it's not convert friendly. A vital part of religion is community and the Zoroastrian community is still heavily dominated by people against it. At best all you could do is like the Kurds and get enough converts to convert at once then start your own communities.
Jonathan Nelson
Lol.
Sorry bud, if you don't believe in Tawhid you're going to hell.
I'm looking at you, كفر
Nicholas White
Its time then to create a new religion that will create heaven on earth right now. Stop waiting for an apocalypse event just for some chosen ones. 2000 years later on and where is jesus, where is buddha &c.?
Matthew Powell
Don't waste your time, heathen. Christ is the only way to salvation and you KNOW IT.
Bentley Nguyen
This is true. You have to realize there is zero scriptural references to not allow conversion so it is completely ridiculous not to allow converts. I do hope to build a Zoroastrian community from around the globe that follow the teachings of Zarathustra and not man-made laws. I do plan to create a YouTube channel making it easier to explain the religion and history.
Elijah Parker
>A Pagan calling me a heathen
Don't throw stones from a glass house.
Hunter Young
How am I a heathen? I belong to Christ. I don't understand where you get this fantasy that Christianity is "based" on something... uhm, yes, on Christ being God made flesh.

Zoroastrianism is Persians only, by their own admission. Just leave them have their own customs.
Joshua Harris
I think it's just the no conversion stuff has become so heavily ingrained into the Zoroastrian community they're just used to it and don't want to change. I notice the younger Zoroastrians though tend to be the ones who say they'd rather see a return to converts than allowing their religion to perish over a dumb rule.
I'm pretty certain Zoroaster made it clear the faith should be taught to all. Even if in theory it was Persian only it's still extremely influential. Greeks were fascinated by it and it definitely shaped Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Bahai, and other religions.

recomended books one can buy? Preferential reading from a writer who actually is a zoroastrian.
It's hard to be a Pagan larper when you aren't Pagan.
Caleb Davis
We don't follow Constantine's Christianity, we follow Biblical Christianity which is God's perfect word.

Please help! My autism is trying to convince me to buy the Gathas in persian. I don't know persian!
Jacob Sanders
>persian I think you mean Arabic (and no, it's not Farsi; you can't just take a language, change one word, and call it your own, you fucking shit-skins)
Robert Long
Well technically the no conversion rule was adapting. It was the only way for Zoroastrians to survive in a new land while being squeezed between Hindus and Muslims. For the time it probably saved the faith from extinction. Now though it's impeding the faith instead of protecting it.
Pagans are trying to revive a dead religion. That's the huge difference.

This game is heavily influenced by Zoroastrianism, one of best I ever played. Awesome atmosphere.
