The Story of God - Zoroastrianism

This is a part of the BBC documentary "The Story of God". http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pres...
Non-Iranians should note that the banners degrading the ruins of the Zoroastrian temples are Islamic banners paying tribute to Sh'ite "saints".

I heard Freddie Mercury was Zoroastrian.

[Yen Chern Soh]

Zoroastrians Parsis never show nor preach their religion to non believers as they are extremely inwards. Freddie is kind & charitable liked a standard Zoroastrian but does that secretly as it is a sin to talk about your good deeds.

Please don't forget he that he ordered a Zoroastrian funeral for himself.

Now, why hasn't this gotten more widespread?

I would trust very little of what This particular Bbc commentator says, his predjudiced mindset knows very little about Aryan Religions and is setting about to cause mischief through Lies and mis-information.

and this is a very intelligent comment!hahahahahah darling just because you're mind controlled you think everyone ought to be or believe what you're told to believe, that's why you can only insult

[StegarulDac]

Jesus was distorted and confiscated in his message ...canonizing or editing the sacred text all the time ...even for re-incarnation who was present until forth century...and so Happened it seems for Zoroastian to :) Moohamed the same etc:) ego...&power--- heart:) be you already are- don`t mind the fear thoughts- re-echilibrate yourself- fear is hate; power is love. be

there is also another misconception that hindus have millions of gods it is not true at all....the verse "33 koti devas" got mistranslated to 33 crore devas(330 million gods) which is incorrect koti means type not crore.....the vedas talk about 33 basic types of devas.....if you ennumerate all the hindu gods\deities\bhagvans\divine beings you would get a number in the hundreds or maybe even thousands but not millions

[nrgshkl00Xwarrior]

this video has many wrong things firstly hindus are monistic,monotheistic,henothei­stic,polythiestic and pantheistic not just plain polythiestic..second buddha was an indian mystic whose teachings were similar to vedanta and buddhists do believe in gods and demigods but are silent about it.....second the devas were not the devils the daevas(demons\daayans) were the devils...the devas were yazatas(benevolent beings) such as fire which are still worshipped in zoroastrianism....

[Trishila Malhotra]

Freddie Mercury was of Indian origin. His family came from Gujarat originally so Yen is right in this case.

[MrEpz4321]

That is Indian Parsis. They made a deal not to spread their religion. Has nothing to do with Zoroastrianism elsewhere like Iran and Kurdish Iraq.
