Same was told to me by my Zoroastrian friend Mahasti told me & I agreed w/her!

The three wise men is not history m8, it's a biblical story!

@TheLogicJunkie I doubt that, books are not the basis of history, but historical records and archeological foundings!

Source?

Speaking of DNA..thought I was German ...born and raised in Kansas...turns out my German dad who abandoned me at age 2 was not my daddy... I am 50% Iranian...I've since been chin deep in Iranian and central asian history. And I love the Avesta credo Think, Speak and Do Good...but also convinced that Abrahamic monotheistic apocalypticism is a constructed derivative from Zoroastrianism by post Babylonian Judean exiled elites to bring together a bummed diaspora.

@@KingExituS Bible is history!

You mean Iranian culture.

@@bhka6423 i thought persian and iranian is one and the same.

@@IndoAryan5989 it is. Persia came first and was an entire empire. what is left of the empire is currently called Iran.

@@xxladybug94 its not the same, stop talking nonsense

Zoroastrians are Persians, but arabs invaded Ancient Persia and forced Persians to convert to Islam or be killed. Thats why most Persians today are muslim.

Dammmmn thanks fam! 😍

Yes brother. Vedic religion and Zoroastrianism (Mazdayasna) are basically siblings. Vedic religion chooses Devas as their God and made Asuras evil while Zoroastrianism upholds Ahura Mazda as God and made Daevas the devils. Vedic deities like Indra and Sarva are Daevas in Zoroastrianism. Mithra and Vayu are beings praised in Zoroastrianism and are good ones. Avestan language is a sister language to Sanskrit. Holy verses in Zoroastrianism are also called Manthras. 80% of Avestan language is similar with Sanskrit. Ritual wise they are 80% similar aswell. The Yagna in Vedic religion is called Yasna in Zoroastrianiam. I am a Tamil from Malaysia and I am a practicing Zoroastrian now.

I approve this plan. On our world tour, we have to fly Damania Airlines (which was apparently another Parsi thing). Ps Tower of Silence also sounds like the name some stoner would give his bong.

@@ZDoggMD Cypress Hill does kinda sound like a well-to-do Mumbai Parsi locale. I'm sure there's a gag here about getting chased out of Persia and getting Ba-haiiiii

The Damania name means that at some point, his family came from Daman which is a Gujarati speaking area.

.. સાલું , સમજ નથી પડતી!

He said he is Indian so yes.

Shazzy1228 yes and Parsi is just a nickname for Indian Zoroastrian

his parents migrated from our state of Gujarat to the USA

yet he is Persian?

@@wintercomesearly that was a long time ago......doubt Parsis of India can even speak Farsi.

جان من تستهای ژنتیک بقیه ایرانیام همین پیوریشن رو نشون میده ها 🤗😂😂

The Taoism and Zenism have great dualistic concepts hidden in their philosophy: Yin-Yang!

E vid sad to dole je istina al to gore si profulo 100% .... Postoji koncept/odjsek teologije koji se zove Apologeza(Apologizam) odnosno odbrana i kontraargumentovanje vezano za religiju...A ti malo prouči teološki jer pojava Mojsija i proroka poslije njega mnogo starija od Zaratrusta..A Aveste su nejasne jer je Aleksandar Veliki uništio mnogo hramova i pobio mnogo ljudi koji su bili nosioci usmenih predanja Zaratrustovih riječi tkd nije 100% sigurno ni kad je živjeo Zaratrust a kamoli da je najstarija dualistička religija... E sad vječna borba dobra i zla nije koncept Hrišćanstva tkd nezz šta si time htio da postigneš ono ako si išao na vjeronauku znaš za drugi dolazak Hristov i da se tada sve završava i nastupa "Carstvo Nebesko"

The anti-conversion stance is only held by the denomination he comes from and does not apply for all, many other groups allow it. There is even growing support for the denominations that went to revive conversion as a practice from some people in his one.

It only applies to one denomination, being the Parsis and that’s who the video maker talks about. They do not represent the entirety of Zoroastrians, elsewhere they do allow converts in. It is like with Sunni and Shia with how denominations differ. The ones the video maker talks about are only one, also in the history of Zoroastrianism before the 1800s many converted. European Zoroastrian convert communities existed but are likely to have later on after hundreds of years become Christians because of the claim about Jesus being the messiah. The Alanians also had converts so the video maker is wrong.

@@radianthorizons5530 Thank you for the additional information. This is something that was NOT ( I'm looking at you Collage Board) touched upon in the World Religions classes that I took for several years, utilizing books. . .we had no internet... Looks like I'll be doing some additional studying. . . At least I now can do some research on the internet. . .

Depends on where you live. In some places it is more easier to find the pro-conversion denominations, many are Iranians or Kurds but should have people who can speak English. If you live in California there is this group that does Sudreh Pushis or Conversions: www.czc.org/

I am a practicing Zoroastrian. My heritage is South Indian (Tamil) of Malaysia. And i learned that some Fire temples to allow conversions and does it for the Non Iranians/Parsis who wants to convert into it. Personally i dont believe in the term or practice of "conversion". If you are living as per to a particular religion's code and you feel comfortable in it you are considered as its follower. After all, it is all about God and yourself at the end of the day.

Citation: Nate Dogg et. al 1993

It does, the video maker didn’t mention the existence of those denominations which do accept converts and the fact historically before the Parsis Zoroastrianism always allowed converts. Ranging from Alania to Europe. Plus some priests from the anti-conversion side who defected to them.

Video is highly inaccurate for the sake of entertainment

No I assume he doesn't realize people mixed. Idk much about scandinivian ethnic groups, but in the context of iran, it's been a pretty mixed country since the iron age, so the inbred thing, idk why he said it.

Jesus is Saoshyant

Yup. He looks alot like Parsis I've seen from Bombay and Karachi. Both his parents are Parsi doctors from Pune. His dad has a typical Indian accent as well. Damania is an Indian name also used by Parsis. It's not a last name used by Iranians or Iranian Zoroastrians

Aye man he got me curious

Only for the denomination that he was born into, putting this here for info sakes. Elsewhere it’s allowed and the religion’s scriptures like the Gathas actually support conversion.

Generally it is preferred that a Zoroastrian male marries another Zoroastrian but they can marry a non-Zoroastrian and the children would be accepted as Zoroastrians. However, if a female Zoroastrian marries a non-Zoroastrian, the children will not be accepted as Zoroastrians. You might say that this is a personal choice but as a matter of law, it is governed by the Bombay Parsi Punchayet

Do you think sahih muslim is authentic

@@ArcanumArcanorum17 I do, may I ask why my opinion matters to you?

@@husamshuayb99 I want to show you something, and I'm not some islam hater believe me I was and still think of converting, but my perception was changed after seeing a few stuff. sahih muslim 3371 is one of them.

While the concerned two Hadiths’ categorically says about raping female war captives, you are to verify authenticity of this narratives, because all scholars agree that there are many weak and fabricated Hadiths’. God says in the Quran: “You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the brain, and you are responsible for using them”. ( Al Quran # 17:36) In fact there was NO sex slavery in Islam. War captives were just a responsibility to the believers - and God’s test to mankind, as God says in the Quran: “We did not send any messengers before you who did not eat food and walk in the markets. We thus test you by each other; will you steadfastly persevere? Your Lord is Seer” ( Al Quran # 25:20) The word ‘slave’ - or ‘Abd’ in Arabic even does not exist in the Quran to mean war captives; the equivalent term used in the Quran is ‘Ma Malakat Aimanukum’ translated as ‘What your right hands posses’ meaning ‘responsibility you are entrusted with’. After exchange of prisoners of wars, the surplus captives were distributed among the believers to be treated most humanely so that they could assimilate, integrate into the society in line with the Quranic instruction- all human are equal. Caliph Omar’s treatment to his slave on his historic journey to Jerusalem is a glaring example to mankind until the end of time; an example how to treat a male slave - absolutely equally, best possible way even a slave could have ever thought off. So, one should logically think that treatment to female war captives should also be something equivalent to the example shown by Caliph Omar - best possible way a female war captive could have ever thought off - live with dignity, care and protection, not a life of sex slavery, as it used to be in those days. Islam is all about giving a best possible solution, and this is the meaning of the Quranic narrative- ‘bring a Surah like this’. As such, female war captives were entrusted to selected believers with the responsibility of educating, caring and respecting them; then, either to marry or marry them off to other with their full consent; or to free them outright

Oh boy, have I got one for you. This is from my world religions textbook, Invitation to World Religions: "In the seventh century, the Sassanid Empire was overthrown by the Arabs, converts to Islam who were then conquering much of the Middle East. Although the Zoroastrians of Iran now found themselves living under an Islamic government, they managed at first to cope with their new circumstances because the Qur'an calls upon Muslims to be lenient in their treatment of non-Muslims to whom God had given a book of scripture. The Arab conquerors were satisfied that the Avesta, like the Jewish and Christian scriptures, qualified as just such a book. Zoroastrians were required to pay a special tax imposed on all non-Muslims, and there were occasional acts of violence against them, but there was security in the fact that they remained the majority in Iran. But the position of Zoroastrians had deteriorated markedly within a century after the arrival of the Arabs. Zoroastrians were subjected to harassment and violence, priests were executed, fire temples were destroyed or turned into mosques, and books of scripture were burned. Worse, Zoroastrians lost their status as a “People of the Book” and the protections it offered. The dangers of their situation were enough to persuade many Zoroastrians to flee Iran. Of these, most found refuge in western India and eventually established a Zoroastrian community in Mumbai that still thrives today. Many of those who remained in Iran capitulated in the face of Arab persecution and converted to Islam. Conversion was made easier by a legend invented to link Shi'a Islam, the dominant form in Iran, with the Zoroastrian royalty of the Sassanid Empire. According to the story, the fourth Shi’a imam was the son of Husayn, Muhammad’s grandson, and a Sassanid princess. The effect of these and other factors on Iran’s Zoroastrians was dramatic. By the end of the eighth century, they had become a religious minority. By the tenth century, Arab rule of Iran had come to an end. It was replaced by a series of Iranian dynasties, some with Turkish or Kurdish associations, that lasted until the overthrow of the Pahlavi Dynasty in 1979. Throughout this period, the number of Zoroastrians in Iran continued to decline steadily. Those who remained faithful to their religious traditions continued to suffer discrimination, periodic persecutions, and economic hardship."
