Zoroastrians believe that there is no place like the battlefield of good and evil. Everybody is responsible for fighting evil, on both an intellectual and physical level. Zoroastrians believe God created the universe and created humanity. In this way, they see themselves as fellow workers in this battle.
There are two types:
Zoroastrianism defines time in two ways: weekly and daily. The first type of time is considered the sacred hour of the day. The second is the period that is reserved for the dead. Zoroastrians believe that the dead have the power to affect the living. These spirits can bring wealth and fertility or they can bring sickness and hardship. They offer offerings to these spirits in the form of wine, milk, pomegranates, quinces, and sometimes special animal sacrifices.
One
Zoroastrianism refers to a religion that emphasizes one God. Although its beliefs may be similar to Christianity, it does not believe in a universal God. The Hebrew people were the first to develop the idea of one God over a thousand year before Zoroastrianism was established. The prophet Isaiah, which spoke of Christ's virgin pregnancy in 701 BC, was a century ahead of Zoroastrianism.
Purity
Zoroastrianism's most important concept is purity. It refers to the belief that the creation of Ahura Mazda is perfect and that we should not defile it. This means that Zoroastrians avoid burial and cremation. They instead bury their bodies at the Tower of Silence where vultures consume them.
Goodness
Zoroastrianism holds the importance of goodness. Zarasthura was the founder of Zoroastrianism and taught his followers to follow the threefold way. This path is analogous with the "law and love" in Christianity. It teaches the importance to make wise decisions based on God's intentions. Zoroastrianism emphasizes goodness over purely good. Although it shares many similarities with Christianity, the doctrines of Zoroastrianism can be found in many religions.
