Just to clarify on that last part: did he say "Bing Bang" or "Bing-Bang"? I notice "Ting-Tang" is hyphenated, so I wanted to know if "Bing Bang" was a printing error, or if the difference was originally intended.
The difference is intentional. No-one knows why. God works in mysterious ways.

What? Me worry?
I think in some ancient Asian cultures the hyphenated "bing-bang" was an euphemism for...well...you know. No hyphen, no foul.

You're the one who says the Gathas are really from Ahura Mazda to Zoroaster instead of the other way around so you tell us. That's the point of this thread, isn't it? You'll tell us what Zoroastrianism was 'really about' without an iota of supporting evidence, then call it a dead religion because it doesn't meet your horrendously biased & self-serving definitions of what the "truthful religion" is which, strangely enough, yours does. Very convenient.
That's what the threads on Hinduism & Christianity have been about and that's what this one is really about.

Why did I expect this to be the setup to a pun?

Here is one:
"This also is revealed in the religion, that Ohrmazd said to Zartosht, 'He who performs charity knowingly and discriminately is like me, I who am Ohrmazd. And he who performs charity ignorantly and without understanding and indiscriminately is like Ahriman'. ... 'Charity is something so worthy, there are 33 ways from Garothman [Paradise] to the Chinwad Bridge, and everyone who is blessed on account of meritorious action is then able to go on one way, and he who is blessed on account of charity is able to go on all those ways'. ... 'Whatever charitable men give, I give them twofold in return, and I store it up'. " (PhlRiv10, tr. based on A.V. Williams 1990.)

NOTE
According to current belief of this religion, there is a god of goodness, Ahura Mazda, also known as the god of light and there is a god of evil, Ahraman, also known as the god of darkness; each has his own well-defined role to play.
The role ascribed to Satan in other religions is ascribed to Ahraman in Zoroastrianism. Most likely the adherents of Zoroastrians of later ages got the concept of Satan mixed up with the idea of an independent god of evil, believed to be the supreme master of the forces of darkness. This one blunder on their part led to yet another blunder. Ahraman, the 'God of Evil', is portrayed as sharing eternity with the One and Only Supreme Creator.
It is hard to identify the age when this erroneous belief crept into Zoroastrian doctrines but one thing is certain that Cyrus (c. 590–529 BC), an exemplary pupil of Zoroasteras, was far from being a dualist.

Well said, if it makes one happy. Kindly have a good day, and then resume your reasonable argument that Zoroaster would have liked to hear. Please

"Thus Spoke Zarathustra."is a philosophical novel by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Right? Please

It is a song, too. It plays in the opening to the sci-fi masterpiece, 2001.
