How do we accelerate this process?
I'm not saying that zoroastrianism is much better than Islam since a lot of Islamic features that are criticized today actually rooted in Zoroastrianism, but it's just fun to have more than just Abrahamic religions.

However speaking of which, I actually know someone majoring in religion studies or history converting to Manichaeism and is dating another study-and-then-convert christian girl.

>Manichaeism

Is an awesome religion but I thought it is dead?
Would convert to if I could have a sound theological argument with one whose lifestyle is inspiring enough to be considered worthy as an authority on the matter.

Mandeans are the closest religion that actually still breathes I guess.

Islam is at its roots a reaction to Christianity. It's an Arab-centric Abrahamic religion that grew and later destroyed the Byzantine and Christian North African and Spanish kingdoms and regions. Zoroastrianism on the other hand is a religion without a specific bias against Christianity as far as I know and with its connection to classical Persian culture must to some extent admit the historic influence that Hellenic culture has had in the region and vice versa.

I would expect it to be much more compatible with European culture and Christianity than Islam.
>>
>>1264901
There's literally nothing that zoroastrian priesthood hated more than the "influence that Hellenic culture has had in the region". They probably hate arabs more now of course.

Huh, I thought Iran still had the majority.

Honestly I can't really blame them, the converts interviewed sounded like they were just in it for the whole "muh Eastern mysticism" aspect

Create a cultural narrative that exaggerates how great Persia was, similar to how people view Rome of the present
>>
>>1264637
Yes, though its funny when people think Indianized Persians/Parsees are somehow more "pure" when their heavily admixed at this point.

>>1264546
The process in Iran of converts turning from Islam to a different religion is most manifested in Christinaity. More Iranians are converting to various Christinian denominations in Iran and outside of Iran then to Zoroastrianism. And Zoroastrianism itself won't pick up steam unless the clerics are removed because conversion officially from Islam to any other faith is seen as punishable as a capital crime.

Anon pls.
They dont support the kurds because they are a heterogenous pile that may want to claim iranian clay as well once they get appeased.
>>

Sounds like right wing bigotry to me not much different from the Turks or da Joos.
>>

With the exception that kurds fit into iranian national identity without need of a separated one of course. If azeris can be good and chill in Tehran being iranians so do kurds.

>muh bigotry
Iran has a lot of foes at the moment, you cannot tolerate separatism in times of assymetrical warfare or you risk your enemy setting up a puppetstate at your front door ot using the upheaval in order to undermine your legitimacy.
You are kinda naive.
>>
>>1265202
>Implying the current government isn't a puppet state.
Kurdish communism is the most reasonable political philosophy in the Middle East and certainly the most compatible with secular Ba'athism.
>>
>>1265231
While the revolution was instigated by the US the result is not what they hoped for as the Mullahs actually managed to create a somewhat stable nation able to project power.

I only wanna see the commis get a small state so it fails by itself again or turns into some totalitarian shithole, some delusions must be battered again and again by reality.

Christians are lunatics, especially the Protestant ones. They usually gather around and then sing with loud speakers and music and shit, and then like they get possessed or something, speaking gibberish. They practice faux-cannibalism eating God's flesh and drink his blood, believing in the death of God or God-killing (deicide), resurrection afterward (for what purpose? It's retarded and inefficient), and so forth. Not to mention that it's a pretty faggy and feminine religion.

The Zend Avesta and Gathas and beyond inaccessible. There's a reason that the magi were so powerful in their heyday.

My English copy of the Avesta is probably the most complex and nonsensical piece of literature in my possession. (Trans. Arthur C Bleek)

With that said, I doubt anyone beyond nerdy ubernationalists will convert to Zoroastrianism, and even then their religious conviction would be entirely absent.
