  • Zoroastrianism has many supernatural entities that can be seen as demons, known as daevas. However, the Persian term daeva should not be confused with the concept in Indian religions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, where devas belong to the category of divine beings or gods.
    This video looks at the demons of Zoroastrianism - their origin, who they are believed to be, and specifically at the major demons of the Zoroastrian faith.

    Interesting that the Zoroastrians demonised the deity Indra, just as the early Hebrews did with Baal & Astarte and the early Muslims did with Al-Lat, Al-Uzza & Manat.

      No one demonized no one . Indra is desciple of brihaspati (jupiter)the guru of the gods and zarathustra or shukracharya or venus guru of bali or baal. They dont get along but are not mortal enemies of each other .

    Hmnn angra mainu is like yaldabaoth the Dark gnostic God of the archons and the material world that have enslaved humans into trapping their souls into flesh bodys and imprisoning them ın the matrix the material universe the archons are neoplatonic metaphysical cosmmic entities of darkness and chaos keeping the souls ın the universe they are like henchmen of yaldabaoth........

      I see the influence come through most definitely in the Gospel in Christianity as well but now you have both the absolute denial of "Satan" while rejecting dualism and accepting God as God of all which seems extremely contradictory

      @firatmengi5715 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      God causes Order order causes creation creation causes life life causes joy joy causes good because god is good meanwhile
      Satan causes chaos chaos causes destruction destruction causes evil evil causes suffering and death
      God is good
      Devil is evil
      İt's that simple I know that the devil exist I simply do not accept him I denie I do not accept evil and yet everyone has a little evil ın himself you must fight it/him so yes.....
      But everything is from God there is evil ın good there is good ın evil
      There is no god except god he is inside of reality and outside of reality
      That's all
      From my perspective life is an mysterious test and God is our teacher an all powerful being with infinite compassion mercy and guidance that guides with signs and we are the learner we can't know everything nor we can't know that everything is right that we know we can only do our best ın this is life :)
      I am more like a mystic Sufi or at least I try to learn it... I hope I could answer your question have a nice night mr well it's night for me 😊

    Zoroastrianism seems like mixture b/w old Assyrian Ashura Religion and Vedic Religion.
    Ashura Of Assyrian Is Ahura mazda
    And Other Aspects of Zoroastrianism is of Vedic Like fire Worship Etc.
    Pre Zoroastrian Iranians were Devayasnis like Vedic people and had common Deities Probably Zoroaster was influenced by Both religion and brought a reformed version of Ashura religion (Mazdayasna) with Many aspects of Devayasna

      Some maga migrate to India and become maga Brahmins

    we don't need to worry about humanity and life. we are merely data in a simulation, just like a file in computer, a computer can be formatted and restored back. a file can be copied from one computer to another. the file will not realize that everything is changed it is new system, file will simply be file.
    our consciousness our soul our body everything is data, we are AI (human) created by God or alien and once opposed by angels (work force of God) to protect their job, the way we are trying to oppose chatgpt/robotics now to save our jobs.
    The so called war of heaven was opposition protest against Human (ai creation) divided by two parts one that support human basically one who still want to use human as slaves
    another group who don't want to use human at all.
    In both case it doesn't look good for human but our reality is we are robots, our entire existence is to serve God/alien as servant.
    During testing phase seems like one of advanced intergalactic spiecies messed with our code and that resulted in mal functioning basically to support their protest against human and to discard humans as robot permanently.
    for this purpose Earth is selected as dumping yard and we human are stuck here.
    they visit us time to time
    1. to enjoy a zoo visit to see animals
    2. to have/seek pleasure that might be forbidden on their planet such as sex or human flesh eating.
    3. to conduct more experiments
    4. to back up or collect certain DNA data that they might have lost on their planets
    Their are good and bad aliens basically bad one is not exactly Bad but you can see him as a western greedy company who is ready to work with east or poor country labour force to increase their profit, to conduct experiments illegally and to achieve certain results which could be ban in intergalactic federation.
    They decided to visit earth and create elites and empowering them to control humanity, basically a certain type of people on earth are acting as pimps of human beings to certain greedy kind of aliens.
    One way or another it proves only one thing to me, we are data and not different than any robot for aliens infact we were created by them only to serve them as AI companion but that experiment was discarded and just like Jurassic park, we or earth became land Jurassic park of humans.

    Other than the word daeva.. Didn't see any similarity in words with hindu gods/ evils.
    In fact hindu also has 6 evils that affect human mind and their devine counters. That concept looks similar here. And daeva means destiny which can be changed for better with right kind of efforts. (Daeva is not god, Deva is.)

    it's quite clear to me that Greek, Persian, indian and part of Syrian they are all following same god same religion. it's same set of stories but over course of 1000 and 1000 of years due to Chinese whisper phenomenon and contamination during writing became different and later became a complete new religion
    there is a story where 10 key figures begin their journey from same family to various part of earth and populate earth and hence these stories are same but eventually each person out of these 10, narreted it differently to their descendents and soon pronounciation difference and Chinese whisper phenomenon all got changed over several 1000 years.
    none of these stories actually took place on earth, only a little part has taken place on earth, most of these stories has taken place inter galactic regions over several planets.
    human were developed as servant or as AI robots of gods and later angels, existing work force of God opposed humans creation obviously for their own job security, they felt threaten from humanity.
    Nothing new we human now developing AI robotics and feel same way as once angels did and we are all insecure too from robotics.
    further angels protest and it was mentioned as war of heaven and we are protesting against AI in same way too.
    Eventually a certain evil mindset decided to corrupt humanity dna programming and that leads to mal function like lust, greed and other sins, make it difficult for god to accept it and eventually the protesting side won due to this mal functioning.
    The human supporting side angels were thrown down to earth, earth was used as a dumping ground for their failed creation. in other words, we on earth are equal to dinosaur on jurrasic park, a place secluded from rest of life for security region because dna engineering went wrong.
    earth is cut down from rest of galactic federation because we are so called posses threat for them due to mal functioning during our creation, fallen angels seems to be supporting scientists of god who were willing to adopt humanity AI but due to protest they were also discarded.
    ETs still visit earth, the way we visit dump yard to collect some old rusty item to reuse it.
