The community is very small and I really hope that they can survive, grow and prosper. There are some uniquely modern Zoroastrian perspectives being developed in the USA. I also like their focus on 'good deeds, good words and good thoughts'. Like Judaism, there is a focus on living ethically in the Here and Now.<br /><br />I am not quite sure if you could term historical Zoroastrianism monotheistic though, since their dualism was so central to their faith. But of course, they are henotheist, meaning that they chose willingly to serve the Wise Lord (Ahura Mazda) exclusively.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for an interesting post on a little-known faith community!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />This Good Life{ T G L }https://www.blogger.com/profile/10000321919925595110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986783130876407654.post-2384590466527383802011-06-10T15:52:12.524-04:002011-06-10T15:52:12.524-04:00Thanks for the information!
