Zoroastrianism

[Al Hanif]

How can Zoroastrianism be classified as Monotheism when it teaches that there are several gods but one controls all the others ?

[Brown Skinned Savage]

Doesn't matter to me; the Zoroastrian tradition is very rich with depth and meaning.

So called Monotheists in ISIL are murderous savages, while Many Zoroastrians are deep and contemplative people.

I'd love to try some Haoma.

Haoma is cannabis.

[Brown Skinned Savage]

Haoma is cannabis.

Haoma is dmt related. So it can't be cannabis since cannabis doesn't have DMT.

What I love about Zoroastrianism is its prohibition on slavery.

I have never seen such a statement; can you show us from Zoroastrian texts where it outrightly and explicitly bans slavery?

[Brown Skinned Savage]

Read the Avesta lol

But for an academic reference check this video out:

@2:35

You mean The Gathas? Avesta is the language of the Gathaas

can you give me the Yasna which confirm this claim; I've read Gathas 5 times and there is NOTHING there

Give the citation of the verse directly please.

Youtube is NOT an academic reference.

[Brown Skinned Savage]

Don't try to be a smartass, maulana sahib

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avesta

You are confusing Avesta with Avestan lol

Avestan is what English academics use to refer to Avesta, they call the texts Avesta because of the language.


please show us from the Zoroastrian religious books where it bans slavery. Direct reference please.

As today Islamic state destroys everything good , similarly those Arabs destroyed everything good including Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism is a great and peaceful religion. Water and fire are two important aspects of life. It differentiates evil and virtue in an excellent way. I found Zoroastrianism A better way of life than Islamism.

Pure monotheism is a barbaric ideology where everything else except one God is annihilated. All these gods etc are just symbols and we cannot call a symbol a God. If there were no Iran ,Saudi would have destroyed even the tomb of the prophet Muhammad.

It wasn't until the 10th century when the majority of the region became Muslim; which means there was no policy to wipe out Zoroastrianism. When the former Zoroastrians became Muslim they simply discarded many of their old relics themselves unfortunately. Just like all things people eventually change into/become whatever the main power structure upholds.

There is nothing in this world that is purely good or purely bad, this includes Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism was not any more or less peaceful than any other religion or more or less warlike. Good & evil are just human inventions.

When you're big and powerful; you can afford to show your aggressive side, and Zoroastrians certainly did that, when you're small and meek you try to make yourself seem more gentle. This pattern is seen everywhere in any group or ideology.

Islamism has the clear policy that non Muslims have only 3 options. Conversion. Jizya tax or war. This policy was implemented everywhere Islamists were in power.

They have already reduced the size but still the green tomb exists which is violation of the Wahabi Islam. In This Islam all graves must be raised to almost ground level.

Policy or not, human nature will always remain the same; the powerful will trample the weak.What you describe isn't Islamism; it's just plain Islam as usual. This attempt at manufacturing the term "Islamism" to make it seem like it is just a few radicalized Muslims with a political agenda is a historical lie.

Islam has always been known from every historical representation as having latent or overt political element. However, so did Zoroastrianism; Zoroastrianism was completely intertwined within the Sassanid, Parthian and Archameanid government. Modern day Islam inherited this from Zoroastrianism. Even the concept of "Jihad" originates from Zoroastrianism
