If people are returning to their roots, does that mean no more fake blonds.

I wonder how many are Muslims who want to reject Islam AND Arab nationalism, and the biggest “f-u” they can give to ISIS is to deliberately become pagan.

It is a Persian religion. Pity that it has been almost wiped out in Iran. Iran is a birth place of two major religion, Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism. Now pockets of worshipers survive mostly in foreign lands, while Iran is overrun by Islam.

I read somewhere that vast amount of Manichean documents were found in China. Followers of Manichaeism were instrumental in bringing down Yuan Dynasty of Mongols and ushering in Ming Dynasty of Han Chinese. They were later purged by Ming Dynasty. The enduring Chinese religious cult, White Lotus, was heavily influenced by Manichaeism.

I think people in Mid-East should reconnect with their ancient roots, if they want Mid-East to be a great civilization it once was.

Are these are the ones whose remains are supposed to be exposed to the elements and eaten by vultures and crows? I always thought that was pretty hardcore, as in the family has to care enough to make sure it gets done right and it seems pretty tough I guess from western Christian eyes. Seems like a pretty big commitment. Freddie Mercury was one of these folks to my understanding, don’t know if he was disposed of that way or not.

The way the Kurds have been treated by the other Muslims would make you want to part ways with them too.

Kurds have protected Christians in Iraq & Syria. On numerous occassions. They are also very good solders. Event their women are good a killing ISIS butchers.

There are some Christians among them too.

They evidently get along well with the remaining Armenians.

And with the Jordanians and the Jews.

I’m actually quite surprised. From my research, it wasn’t possible to convert to Zoroastrianism or I would have. It was monotheist before monotheism was cool. It influenced the Hebrews during the period of Babylonian Captivity. It also had a major influence on Christianity.

Zoroastrianism?
He was one of the many deities the Hindus worshiped. There were/are some 330 million "faces" of God for Hindus. SOME women made their husbands their "god."

ALL whackos [technical term].

My hubby was POSITIVE that somewhere in India someone was worshiping a '56 Chevy. We did visit Indian in the 1980's.
