I vote Zoroastrians as the official religion of /his/.
>>923311
I agree
>>923289
I knew a Zoroastrian in highschool. Guy played a mean violin.
>>923288
Same dynamic as most religion. Good vs. Evil. actually where Jews got the idea for Hell.
If you want to go deeper, look before it with old pagan Persian myths
I met one on campus one time. He said that his parents' fireplace has been burning for as long as he can remember.
They can't extinguish fires unless they're harmful.
>>923341
that sounds fake && gay.
i know a guy who doesn't practice anything regularly but he was born in shiraz and his senpai immigrated to the US in the 90s
he some of his family is christian, some shia, and he claims to be zoroastrian an he has this cool ring with OPs symbol on it
>>923311
yay
>>923289
>only exists within small communities in the middle east
I'm not completely sure, but pretty sure, that there's more of them in diaspora than in the native lands now. Australia, the UK and America have communities and fire temples scattered around.
Make a thread when it has something to legitimize the religion like catholicism has the papacy to legitimize itself.
>>924415
Why would Zoroastrianism even need a papal simulacrum?
>>923289
I'm an Ezidi, we share some elements of Zoroastrianism, but we also have a Indoeuropean caste system like Indians.
>>924415
The papacy doesn't legitimize Catholicism at all. Explain your line of reasoning.
>>923289
I'm pretty sure that for every religion, ther eis at least one person out in the world who claims to follow it.
There's even a fucking site for followers of this dead as fuck obscure religion that got wiped out by the time the 1000s came around
>>924431
I am Persian and I have never heard of Ezidi. Are you as mixed as the Parsis in India?
>>923311
>>924501
Zoroastrianism is a dead religion despite being a major world religion for thousands of years. It has little to do with modern politics and everything to do with history. Zoroastrianism is perfect. No one wants /his/ to be catholic /pol/.
>>924501
retarded reasoning, fuck off /pol/faggot
>>924442
The papacy tells us the word of God and how to best live our lives.
>>924619
Like a Satan worshiper?
Peacock is associated with pride, so is Satan.
Peacock angels refuses to bow to man, so does Satan.
>>924680
Fucking hell, this shit again?
It's named as Shaitan a few times.
Go read the qwele and see what you think before you go all "it's devil" worship on these people.
The Peacock Angel is the angel of all good AND bad; much more like the early Hebrew Samael than a Christian Satan or Iblīs.

>zoroastrianism is perfect
>literally practiced inbreeding and doesn't allow converts at all
Yeah nah there's a reason it's a dying religion
>>923289

Not as dead as you are suggesting.
>>924686
The prohibition against converts is mostly a Parsi thing rather than the entire religion.
>inbreeding
This link goes into some of the divisions of how this play out, if at all, in the sects:
The Arabic poet and prose writer, Abu’l-ʿAlāʾ Maʿarri (d. 449/1058), accusing a heretical Islamic sect, the Carmathians, of incestuous practices, contrasts them with the Zoroastrians, who allegedly had given up their habits:
Even the brute beasts did not approve the crimescommitted by you on your mothers and mothers-in-law.
We questioned some Magians as to the real nature of their religion.
They replied, “Yes: we do not wed our sisters.
That, indeed, was originally permitted in Magianism, but we count it an error.
We reject abominable things …” (tr. Nicholson, p. 104; Arabic text, ibid., p. 239)
>dying
Again, see all the local bodies: >>923291
>>924686
I feel like you are trying to make a point, but I don't see how it relates to the discussion. Zoroastrianism is perfect for the official religion of /his/.
Zoroastrianism is the biggest meme here

Tell me about Yima
more info please
>>923288
Do you really want to fuck your relatives so badly?
>>924983
Let me tell you about
>The fair Yima, the good shepherd
He was the Zoroastrian Adam and Noah combined into a single character. The Wise Lord entrusted him with the duty of overseeing creation and increasing and multiplying:
>make thou my world increase, make my world grow: consent thou to nourish, to rule, and to watch over my world
He placed him on the ancestral Aryan homeland called Airyana Vaejo, until the arch-demon Angra Manyu caused "evil winters" (the Ice Age?) to befall the the Urheimat and the Aryans migrated southwards.
This ancestral memory is also recorded in Hindu tradition (See: Tilak: Arctic Home of the Vedas)
Before the great migration, however, king Yima was commanded to build a Vara (enclosure) to preserve all creatures:
>And Yima made a Vara, long as a riding-ground on every side of the square. There he brought the seeds of sheep and oxen, of men, of dogs, of birds, and of red blazing fires. He made a Vara, long as a riding-ground on every side of the square, to be an abode for men; a Vara, long as a riding-ground on every side of the square, for oxen and sheep.

Yima in Hinduism and Buddhism:
>Yama or Yamarāja, also called Imra,[1] is a god of death, the south direction & the underworld,[2] belonging to an early stratum of Rigvedic deities. In Sanskrit, his name can be interpreted to mean "twin".[3] In the Zend-Avesta of Zoroastrianism, he is called "Yima".
Why did he become a god of the dead in Hinduism and Buddhism? Because, being the first mortal, he was also the first one to die and the first to arrive in the kingdom of the dead (or traversing the pritryana, the "way of the fathers") and became the ruler thereof.
>In the Vedas, Yama is said to have been the first mortal who died. By virtue of precedence, he became the ruler of the departed,[8] and is called "Lord of the Pitrs".[9]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama
According to the Rigveda:
>2 Yama first found for us a place to dwell in: this pasture never can be taken from
Us.
Men born on earth tread their own paths that lead them whither our ancient Fathers have departed.

Yima in the Norse Tradition (disputed):
>In a disputable[according to whom?] etymology, W. Meid (1992) has linked the names Yama (reconstructed in Proto-Indo-European as *yemos) and the name of the primeval Norse frost giant Ymir, which can be reconstructed in Proto-Germanic as *umijaz or *jumijaz, in the latter case possibly deriving from PIE *ym̥yos, from the root yem "twin". In his myth, however, Ymir is not a twin, and only shares with Yama the characteristics of being primeval and mortal. However, Ymir is a hermaphrodite and engenders the race of giants.

More importantly, do you guys still fugg your sisters?

You understand that no reputable scholar really believes this right? It's interesting nevertheless.

>No face of course

I've fapped to so much incest porn in my life. For better or worse, I can't stand my sister. Her personality is grating and she is fat. Nice face, just fat. Well, perhaps thick is the better word since she has or used to have a lot of muscle for a girl.

They're really into the letter Z
Bump for the Wise Lord.
