Zoroastrianism

Good Day Cent:

I don't know about Islam, but I would certainly say that it did have an affect with christianity (at least with Catholicism), as I believe it was the first religion to teach the doctrines of "an individual judgment, Heaven and Hell, the future resurrection of the body, the general Last Judgment, and life everlasting for the reunited soul and body."   

According to Mary Boyce, who wrote a book about Zoaroast, "Zoroastrianism is the oldest of the revealed world-religions, and it has probably had more influence on mankind, directly and indirectly, than any other single faith."

yes the croats are the closest tied with zoroastrians as they are of iranic stock, with zoroastrism they were easily converted on catolicism

Mazdaism, ancient myths and religion of Croats
In addition to similarities in language, common cultural points can be pointed out as well. For example, reference can be made to the symbols belonging to the old-time Christians that resembled symbols of Mazdaism in the ancient Iran.

A study in this connection has drawn a parallel between the language used in Bosnia and littoral states and islands of the Adriatic Sea in two separate sections. The study further elaborates how followers of Mazda in ancient Iran converted to Christianity in Europe and how Mazdaism was spread in Europe by the migration of the inhabitants of the above-mentioned areas.

Other research works have studied the influence of traditions in ancient Iran on the symbols of the roots of old Christianity from the ancient time to the middle ages.

Hrwatman, croats probably have iranic background, but they are also were slavic, since they are mixed.

the bulgars in bulgaria (Bolgharistan in persian heh), were originally turkic, there are bulgars in russia today and they are turkic (i think they are turkic racially too im not sure),  but bulgars also have slavic and iranic background too. but it wil be ludacrous to say that bulgars are turkic, they are slavic now.

croats are probably more slavic than iranic.

back to the subject, i believe Mithrasm was a major factor and influence in Roman empire. whihc i think affected catholic christianity more.

Well, some years ago, Bulgars considered themselves as slaves too...

isn't it true that the name Slav is the Russian word for slave? I heard the Russians called the Slavic people Slav from the Russian word for slave.

I am deeply sorry if I am incorrect and apoplogise in advance, but it was something I heard in history class a while ago, I'm not even sure if it was the Russians...

ohh the Zoroasterians get a raw deal, they are the reasons for angels and demons, reasons for many things including the greatest empire ever know
