" Zoroastrianism "
the Prototype of all main religions!
There is a strong body of opinion that Abraham was a Zoroasterist and so possibly Judaism sprang directly from Zoroasterism, making it the direct ancestor of all the major western religions.
Zoroaster claimed to be the second incarnation of the "great prophet" and that the third would be born of a virgin 1000 years hence (guess who latched on to that self fulfilling bit of mumbo jumbo.
The So called "heretic" Islamic faith of Baháʼà also claim direct decent from Zoroaster via Islam.
even the Islam "Shia" Branch, comes from Zoroastrianism, that's why "Sunni" people have problems with "Shia" beliefs! The Shia turn Zoroastrianism savior to the "Imam Mahdi" the last 12th Imam, who will come to make a GOD true administration and endless peace in the world! of course after the last war and Unbelievers blood
@Diaco Thanks for that
He does not mention it, but of course Zoroastrians are heavily persecuted to this day, especially in the Islamic countries. One of the reasons why they worship mainly at home, rather than in temples, is because keeping a low profile and not open holding rituals in temples, is the main way they have avoided persecution for centuries.
heheheh, Muslims have problems with themselves, don't even think about Religious minorities!
