15,000 may be a drop in the ocean for Christians, but for Zoroastrians who number about 70,000 to 100,000 this is a big deal

Anything that gets people to leave Islam is a good thing.
The murderous cult started by Mad Mo needs to be eradicated for there to be any chance for peace on earth.

Weren’t the Magi Zoroastrians?
To: windsorknot
Yes, Magi (/ˈmeɪdʒaɪ/; singular magus /ˈmeɪɡəs/; from Latin magus) were priests in Zoroastrianism and the earlier religions of the western Iranians. The earliest known use of the word magi is in the trilingual inscription written by Darius the Great, known as the Behistun Inscription.

A conservative friend and very good man has Zorasterism at the center of his life.
Always interesting conversations with him.
He practices in Sacramento at:

Probably more dualistic -- the earliest forms of Zoroastrianism had strict dualism - there were two equally powerful, opposite gods - the God of Light (Ahura Mazda) and his brother Aingra Mainyu, the God of the Lie. They were equally omnipotent, ancient etc.
Later Zoroastrianism - Zurvanism, dating from 100 to 200 AD, proposed Zurvan as the originator and Ahura Mazda and Aingra Mainyu as emanating from Zurvan.

I didn’t think the Zoros accepted converts. They seem to believe that everyone is born in the religion he is meant to practice.
