The Story of God - Zoroastrianism

This is a part of the BBC documentary "The Story of God". http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/11_november/09/go...
Non-Iranians should note that the banners degrading the ruins of the Zoroastrian temples are Islamic banners paying tribute to Sh'ite "saints".

@Lydi1996 No, anybody can become zarathrutrian. There are some groups that don't accept new members, but that is because they are in a bind since the governments of their countries put these rules on them. Like in Iran the communities can't accept new members, because muslims are not allowed to convert. But people do convert though!

If the Spartans didn't defeat the Persians, then all of Europe would've been Zoroastrianism rather than Everything deriving from Catholicism. All traces of Catholicism would've been burned instead of Zoroastrianism all these crazy christians would be like who the fuck is Jesus Christ? ...Every religion just ripped off Zoroastrianism so i have no idea what the fuck to believe. And dont talk to me about "being a good Christian" Christianity has spilled more blood than any other religion.

Honestly. I've been looking for answers for a very long time, and to me, this makes the most sense.

@ShredWithMe It was because of the acceptance of the persian culture in Greek society that feared the ruling class. Later the Athenian propaganda pushed on through and crushed may of other greek tribes. In Athene cyrus the great was praised and remembered by his deeds and justice

@ShredWithMe How misinformed you are... Western philosophy makes it only a history about battles.. first of all the the spartans did not defeat the persian army they succumbed after a few days. Second it is more important to know the intention of such a campagne which was a far more peacefull cultural atmosphere in comparison with the Athene ruling class. The spartans worked together with the Immortals and respected their chivalry for decades against the Athenians.

All religions are connected. They came from ONE GOD. JUDAISM-Deut 6:4 "Hear O'Israel:The Lord our God is One God". CHRISTIANITY- Mark 12:29, Jesus says "The First of all (laws) is..The Lord our God is One." In the Quran 2:163 "Your God is One God.." HINDUISM - Rigveda BK6;H45.V16 -"Praise Him who is Matchless and Alone." SEKISM - Guru Granth Sahib V.1Ch1v1 "Only One God exists.." EGYPTIAN -Book of the Dead;CXXVii - "..thou One (Amen/Ra), thou only One whose arms are many." One World One God!
