What do you think of Zoroastrianism? What was it all about? Was there incest?

If you could press a button that converted every person in Iran to Zoroastrianism, would you?

>If you could press a button that converted every person in Iran to Zoroastrianism, would you?
Yes.

>If you could press a button that converted every person in Iran to Zoroastrianism, would you?
I'd press it if it converted them to anything other than Islam, Zoroastrianism would just be a nice bonus.
>Was there incest?
Mostly among nobles.

inb4 butthurt mudslimes

I don't think there are many shiites in Veeky Forums

>If you could press a button that converted every person in Iran to Zoroastrianism, would you?

As long as the incest isnt implied yes ofc, the sudden mass conversation would seem miraculous and make Persia a weirdass fireworshipping theocracy which will be much more interesting then its now and create greatest butthurt.

>good and evil

Back then in the persian empire the motive of life and ethics was driven by philosophy, poetry, and knowledge. This was also kind of the heart of this lifestyle. My opinion is that this is what made the Persian empire great.

Kinda off topic but could anyone recommend me a decent book on Zoroastrianism?

They seem cool, though I love dualist religions.
I've heard the incest thing is a CK2 meme, is that true?

Without a doubt! I love Zoroastrianism, I have read all of the Gathas!

Praise Ahura Mazda!
Praise Mithra!
Praise Zartus!

The fruits of the good mind are the keys to the kingdom of Ahura!

Nope, it was a real thing, though mostly among nobility.

If I could press a button to convert the whole western world to Zoroastrianism I would.

Zoroastrianism is a Indo-European religion. Christianity is a Semitic religion.

Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism and paganism should be the only religions from Ireland to India.

Hinduism is honestly worse than any religion

Vedantism?

Depends wildly.
Caste systems sucks ass, but they are very versatile and actually work on their follys.
Also even the most intolerant hindu fanatics seem be ok with infidels as long as they segregate and dont proselytize.

Caste system would be great if it wasn't hereditary.

I read the news, man. These guys started a pogrom because their Muslim neighbours had some beef in a fridge. And the caste system invalidates whatever pros their religion has. Also, the only actual rape culture.

It wouldn't be caste system then. It being hereditary is the whole point.

I'm not an expert in Zoroastrianism, but I know that two of the most important tenets were: always tell the truth, and love and take care of all doggos, because they're sacred animals.

Sounds pretty based if you love dogs.

I remember reading that after the Islamic conquest, the conquering Muslims discovered that the best way to really piss off the Zoroastrians was by throwing rocks at their dogs. Fuck Muslims.

Also, fire temples sound pretty cool. I wish we kept sacred fires going in our churches that could never be extinguished.

>I wish we kept sacred fires going in our churches that could never be extinguished.
Many military memorials are basically this.

>Also even the most intolerant hindu fanatics seem be ok with infidels as long as they segregate and dont proselytize.

The reason is that they've been kept under control by 60 years of rule under secular-minded socialists. We're already seeing a surge in the number of radical hindu groups dedicated to attacking anyone involved in cow slaughter now that there're hindu nationalists in power.

I might need to read up on beed based murder, but some progroms against muslims were counterreactions to similar masskillings from the other side as shit is getting tense in the hindu-muslim mixed regions.
>the only actual rape culture
You in turn shoudl look after northafrican taharrush and the fact you can do whatever you want to your infidel houseslave if youre a wealthy arab or ISgoon?

But Hindus aren't raping slaves or infidels. They're raping and gang-raping Hindu girls, it's a real problem. And India is a much more civilized country than anything in Northern Africa, and it sure as hell ain't a warzone like Syria, Iraq or Somalia.

We aren't faggots that larp around playing mr aryan
If Jesus had been born black I would still worship him

I'm sure the beef was just a pretext. Islam is so toxic that even peaceful Buddhists and Hindus persecute Muslims. Truly cancer: the religion.

hindu rape culture is just an extension of caste culture

check any major indian news outlet and search for rape cases and you'll find that most rape victims will be poor dalit girls

the caste system is seriously fucked up

It isn't like Somalia, but hot damn Indian cities have some of the worst slums on the planet

The caste system is actually quite complicated, it being hereditary is just one part of it and how flexible this is varies.

>more civilised
The south maybe, Tunisia arguably more stable then northindia.

I looked up some of the incidents at they seem to happen around Pakistan where the mutual hatred is espeacially strong.
Might be a pretense, might be genuine cow protection vigor as the cowprotection squad in northern india allegdly mustered over 20.000 active vigilantes.

you people just know about the shit secular indians have to deal with nowadays regarding cows

>They managed to start selling cow urine cola (Cow-Ka Cola?) five years ago, but didn't stop there.

Didnt the Prophet praise camelpiss in a similar way?
I wanna see a bitchfight between an arab wahhabi and a brahman Hindutva about whether camel of cowpiss is more potent.

I think most muslims either don't know or are too embarrassed about any ruling on camel piss to acknowledge it.

Christianity, and Judaism, are strongly influenced by Zoroastrianism though.

I think he meant vedic hinduism rather than the modern dravidian-influenced version.

I'm pretty sure that's there the got the idea of Devil from, which is why it's so awkward and doesn't make sense in context of Christianity. Then again, Judaism borrowed from all of their neighbours (the flood myth, Genesis and a bunch of other stuff is just retelling of Babylonian myths).

The saudis actually fund scienteists who find proves that camel urine is special in some way while others see it more speptical and speak open about it as this morrocan here:

>dualism
Based. Dualism is the only way of explaining the existence of evil without engaging in monotheist-tier mental gymnastics.
