I was reading a passage on Zaranthusta and Zoroastrian philosophy, however the way it was written was really hard to understand can you give me some insight into what that is exactly. Thanks in advanced.

As I understand it, which is not greatly, there are supposed to be two equally powerful deities, one good, one bad. They are continually in competition. all the best urban

I have superficial knowledge about Zarathusta so I had to do some research about this subject. http://www.zarathushtra.com/z/life/index.htm This is a good site aboutZarathustrha's life Zarathustra, never assumed prophethood. He never claimed he had associated with the Lord of cosmos whose width galaxy extends more than 36 milliard (36 thousand million), light year, which lies beyond our imagination. Zarathustra, never ordered his followers to perform certain activities, but he recommended them to try to know the creator of the earth and heaven and adopt good manner, on the basis of their wisdom. Therefore, Zarathustra was neither a prophet, nor we can call his spiritual path a “religion,” rather he was a thoughtful benevolent who recognized his God on the basis of his wisdom and never said he had been missioned to bring any message from God to human beings http://www.zoroaster.net/indexe.htm Zoroastrian philosophy If you d like to read about Zorastrian Philosphy this website gives you a general overview of what the philosophy is all about. Zorastrians believe in Heaven and hell too. here is an extract: According to Zarathushtra after we leave this life, our essence leaves the body, and depending on the choices that it has made, either it will go to the House of Songs or Realm of light (if he has made good choices) or to the Realm of Darkness and Separation (if evil choices). Heaven and Hell are not physical places, but are described as timeless states of consciousness: either state of oneness with or separation from Ahura Mazda. http://www.zarathushtra.com/z/article/overview.htm
