    Ask Us About Zoroastrianism

    Oh I see, so after Alexander burned the city of Pasargadae, the scriptures created later are the ones he ignores? By the way @MD I just wanted to say that, I went back and re-read an old post you made saying you were happy to hear about my conversion. I just wanted to say that reading that...

    Afterlife places

    So Confused453, The reason why every religion in the world says something about the afterlife is because humans are fleeting creatures, and in our short bursts of life, we seek to find meaning in a truly meaningless world. Be that in religion, or in daily life. Our ultimate goal as mortal...

    Ask Us About Zoroastrianism

    Hello all, Not gonna lie, being stuck here in the Midwest USA, and only have a very small Zoroastrian Temple about six hours away from me to the north, it is tough not having a solid community to talk to. I do have a question for you Corthos, I see that you are a Gathic Zoroastrian. What, if...

    classical and modern Deism

    I would have to disagree with this statement. First there is no hard evidence that we are the only sentient beings in the universe, perhaps in our own little sand box yes, but the universe is incomprehensibly vast. Second, I would have to agree with the statement that Ahura Mazda, God, The Sky...

    Strange Dreams

    I know this is an old thread but I just had a dream that I had to post. So I don't usually remember my dreams however this one was particularly vivid. I don't know where I was, but it was at a house. I don't remember if there was a knock or not, but my uncle walked in followed by an older man...

    Ask Us About Zoroastrianism

    Scotsman I would like to point out that by the time the Achaemenid Persian empire was at its height, most of the people in the Middle East and Greece were not true polytheistic peoples. By that time most of them were Henotheistic, which meant that they tended to focus towards one god, but still...

    Ask Us About Zoroastrianism

    Hello Rival, I do apologize for my late arrival. I have not been on the Religious Forums as of late. I am happy to say that I met another Zoroastrian here in Missouri, which makes a total of three I know of, including myself. I would love to jump into this conversation if you would allow me the...

    Why did Zoroastrianism vanish?

    The reason not to covert was far outweighed by the reasons to convert. Humans, in a bid for survival, will willingly accept something if they can avoid persecution and have a sense of belonging. We are, in spite of everything we claim to be, creatures of habit. We go to what makes us...

    Why did Zoroastrianism vanish?

    Islam is not "the truth" it is merely an idea like all other faiths out there. Also most of the Zoroastrian Persian populace converted to Islam because of harsh treatment. They were ridiculed and had an extremely high tax placed upon them, the Jizya tax. For centuries, before the majority became...

    Why did Zoroastrianism vanish?

    I do know that this is an old thread, but allow me to post none the less. I studied Zoroastrianism for a long time. A couple of weeks ago I decided to covert. Although I have spiritually converted I have yet to be accepted into a temple because I have not done the initiation ceremony. Conversion...

    Hello Thirza, I am an American born citizen and for most of my life I never even knew about Zoroastrianism until now. I talked with another member of the site named Shahz. After talking with him he helped me to fill in the gaps about Zoroastianism. He explained that converting, although usually...

    Are there any Zoroastrians here?

    I am a Zoroastrian, although only a recent convert. Does anyone have some good text material I could read to improve my understanding of our faith?

    This question is focused toward you El Majusi. Do you know of any books that teach about Zoroastrianism, and if so, where might I find them. I am always inquisitive and I have a deep seeded need to learn about as much as possible so if you could would you help me out. Thank you in advance.
