I like it that when a Zoroastrian dies, they leave the body outside for the vultures to eat. It eliminates all those creepy "buried alive" phobias.

Yeah it's an ancient belief of Zoroastrians not to bury the dead, b/c it is disrespectful to bury someone inside of a mere grave when the entire body can enjoy fruits of heaven.
I find that to be the strangest part of their religion, but i can also respect it on those grounds.

Vultures and crows have just as much right to eat as the worms...
