Zorastranism vs Christanity? Which one you prefer and why?

Answer 1

Zoroastrianism.
Because I'm a Persian and we still do practice some of it!

Answer 2

Zoroastrianism is much more ancient than Christianity (having been noted historically from about 400 BC, but probably dating to even earlier times); however, it is currently practiced by only 20,000 or so people in Asia. Obviously, its believers are not overly concerned with evangelism/conversion. It is a religion which seems benign in comparison with Christianity's bloody past and fundamental inflexibility. Zoroastrianism has its litany and set of beliefs, but they are more inclusive than exclusive in my view. Although, I am agnostic, if I were to be required suddenly to embrace one of the two systems, I would be inclined to select Zoroastrianism whose tenets I find more supportable...

Answer 3

Zoroastrianism. It's a very interesting religion, and it has the benefit of being practically extinct, so my judgement isn't impared by the idiocy of its followers.

Answer 4

Mystery religion
From Wikipedia

A mystery religion is any religion with an arcanum, or secret wisdom. In a mystery religion, an inner core of beliefs, practices, and the religion's true nature, are revealed only to those who have been initiated into its secrets. (The ancient Greek term μυστήρια (mysteria) means "initiation", notably in the context of the Eleusinian Mysteries.) Ancient mystery religions of the eastern Mediterranean area generally focused on mythic figures who had descended into Hades and returned or who otherwise exemplified death and rebirth, such as Bacchus, Orpheus, Osiris, and Tammuz.
Mystery religions tend historically to be geographically limited as to the majority of their core practitioners. This has changed somewhat with modern improvements in transportation and communication.

[edit] Early Christians
In the language of the early Christians, the mysteries were those religious teachings that were carefully guarded from the knowledge of the profane. An example is the Secret Gospel of Mark, which was preserved from profane view in Alexandria, and is now known only through chance references in a letter of Clement of Alexandria. The Gospel of Thomas purports to express mysteries that were confided by Jesus to Thomas alone, and the traditions of early Christian Gnosticism were based on esoteric information available only to disciples.
Though these traditions were marginalized by mainstream Pauline Christianity and eventually declared "heretical", it has been suggested that Christianity had its origin in a mystery of initiates. According to this view, Christianity began as a Jewish adaptation of Greek mystery religion, and that Paul developed Christianity in another, more public, Hellenized direction, ultimately more acceptable to mainstream Roman culture.
[edit] Other religious forms
The other general forms of religions are the "revealed religion" and "natural religion". The public revelations embodied in a written scripture are characteristic of any "revealed religion". The seasonally shared public cult practices are characteristic of a natural theology which has a developed mythology but no single orthodoxy.

[edit] Other mystery religions
Mystery religions of the ancient Mediterranean area were usually devoted to gods of death and rebirth. These myths are so reminiscent of Christ's passion and resurrection that J.R.R. Tolkien believed them to reflect divine reality, albeit imperfectly.[1]
