The last bit where a lady spoke about the 'evolutionary superiority' of the parsees over the rest of the mankind, sounded far too much like good old adolf!! i know a few parsees and am sure they do not think likewise. But they also are not too religious. Is this what the religion teaches them? hmmm

maybe the answer lies in the fact that zoroastrianism and judaism are so closely connected:zero ashter,ishtar and the female pendant of early judaism.zoro ashter zro doshter is the original type of solomon.are the parses brothers of the pharisees?

This was really interesting to learn more about the Parsi community. There was no mention of the true reason why the vultures are disapearing. It's simple, a drug used to treat livestock called Diclofenac. If a vulture feeds on a carcass that has diclofenac it causes renal failure. There is a vulture safe alternative drug called Meloxicam but it is not widely used. What are Parsi's doing to stop the use of diclofenac and save the remaining vultures?

As a young Parsi priest in the US i think we should expand our numbers and haha well... more vultures. i think anybody who wants to join should be able to. I saying this come from a high priestly family and it has been a tradition for my family to become priests. i think it is time for a change. A new generation has come

just by reading from your science books and what comes to heart. I am a layman and I am not scared of our priests. I hold them in very high esteem, unlike you, who have gone and compared them with the mullahs. It is because of people like you today that the religion could get converted to a cult in the future and loose everything it has to offer for our spiritual progress.

Everything is not, cannot, be proven by science and Logic alone.
Follow whatever path that you need to follow, but do not foolishly compare, influence and distort peoples thinking to try and bring it on par with yours. People can think for themselves and those who have the faith will follow.
Have a happy life. Spirituality has survived much worse and will live till the end of time.
