You are right on with all your points in that post. I should have said: "Angra Mainyu is a great name for an evil God." Rather than 'evil spirit'.

You really know your stuff.

Do you think that maybe some day once all the troubles are over that we will be able to visit Northern Iran and Iraq? I'm dying to see that part of the world... In addition the The Book of Job, have you studied the parallels between Zoroastrian lore and The Book of Genesis in particular--in relation to the 'daevas' and the temptation of Eve in the Garder?

Thank you!

Got to admit, got some Parsi friends and am 1/8th Irani (great-grandma). I think Z lore is quite important as most likely God planned it all out -- you notice that Christ is born of the Judaic race yet is heralded by Irani magi? Also Buddha's early teaching (removing all the later God's added) is a sign of man's reaching to God, so perhaps he was a pointer (I don't believe the stories that Christ went to India in his 20s, but Buddhism in those times did spread right up to Palestine.)
