Zoro-what? Zoroastrianism was the religion of the once mighty Persian Empire. Over the centuries, the number of followers of Zoroastrianism has severely declined for numerous reasons. Today the number of followers of this religion stands at around about 200,000 many of whom are found in Iran and India. Many of those who live in Iran today are an oppressed minority officially condemned by the Ayatollah and his government. I would try to sum up this religion for you, but to say its complicated would be an understatement. One of their fundamental beliefs is to practice “good thoughts, good words, and good deeds.” Sounds simple enough, if only the whole world had a few more good thoughts, words, and deeds, we’d all be a lot better off. I found the religion to be an interesting read. If you’d like to know more click here.
