Monotheistic Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism during the Exile of the Jews to babylon. Before that the Hebrews considered their God to be first among many.

On their return to Judea they brought the monotheistic idea with them. So we all owe a lot to the Parsi.

Ah ha, sure they did.

And it had nothing to do with Moses, the 10 commandments or anything else concerning monotheism that is written in the old testament before the Babylonian exile, right?

Find me anything in the Old Testament that supports your conclusion.

Zoroastrianism was the dominant religion for thousands of years from Northern India through the entire Arab world. Then within a couple centuries it was destroyed by Islam. A pity, Zoroastrianism was rather benign as far as religions go and wasn’t interested in making new coverts or conquering new lands (which is why the locust plague of Islam’s forced conversion by sword point swept it away so quickly).

Want to know what is really causing their faith to die out. Islam. It destroys the culture of every civilization and replaces it with sharia law.

“I thought maybe they are not having enough avenues to know that there are other young Parsis available.”

Maybe the men should come out from their mama’s basements.

I wonder if she allows “trans-gender” Zoroastrians to sign up for the dating service...

Wonder why the Torah says, you shall have no other gods before me. My mother never once in her life said, you shall not call any other woman your mother. She never had to say that. Why does your god say that? Seems he is like a jealous teen girl acknowledging that there are other pretty girls around?

The Parsi don’t acknowledge there are any other gods. They don’t even mention it. Why does your god go on and on about other gods?

Indians I know tell me that many of these “Parsi” people are insane due to centuries of inbreeding.

They worship Zoro, right? I use to be a Frizzbytarian. We believed that when you died your soul went on the roof and you couldn’t get it down.

I propose letting Zoroastrians immigrate while keeping followers of the death cult out.
