Great article. Thanks
Then the question was raised, "Where did they come from?" And he invented a third creator god.
These heathens want a religion which appeals specifically to their ethnicity. Mohammed, the child rapist and murderer, felt that the Jews had Moses and whites had Christ but the Arabs had nobody. So he invented Islam.
And, if he hadn't shown up and been all militaristic about his religion, Zoastrianism would have been as big as Islam.
Pity they just don't have the intellectual capacity to understand that Christ is God to all men (if those men have the humility to admit such).
Matt 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
The Parsi of India are Zoroastrians.
Zoroastrianism. the true non-Jewish monotheistic religion of the Middle East. When Mohammed Ali, the old sun-crazed sand hermit of Arabia was drawing up his battle plans and “new prophecies” of the Koran, he drew heavily on elements of Judaism, Christianity and Zoroastrianism for his theology, but discarding some very important parts. Upon completing his tome, he promptly forbade any of his followers from ever again referring to or quoting any of the older religious in any of their interpretations of the meanings of various passages of the Koran.
Islam is more a group of sects and cults than it is a religion in the sense understood by most of the rest of the world. They adopted as their model for Allah, the Zoroastrian supernatural figure, Ahriman.
Angra Mainyu (Ahriman) is the name of Zoroastrianism’s “destructive spirit/mentality” and the main adversary in Zoroastrianism either of the Spenta Mainyu, the “holy/creative spirits/mentality”, or directly of Ahura Mazda, the highest deity of Zoroastrianism.
This destructive spirit was widely adopted in many of the localized religions that sprang up like weeds throughout the Middle East, and is reflected in tales like Ba’al, Moloch, Dagon, and others, where the governing spirit is malevolent and demanded great sacrifices by their followers.
All very characteristic of how radical Islamic jihad is practiced today.
Also, in Iran, according to the country's official census, there were 25,271 Zoroastrians within the country as of 2011.
Of course, muslim apostates can be killed with impunity by followers of the religion of peace.
Famous Zoastrian: Freddy Mercury of Queen.
Far preferable to Islam’s violence.
