Every Friday I'll post some basic facts and my thoughts on a religion other than Christianity. I've always been fascinated by different faiths, beliefs and rituals. And by looking at different faiths, I am often strengthened in my own. I'm a history buff, so the posts will probably include lots of history and cultural context of the religion. While I will try to make sure my information is as accurate as possible, understand that I'm only skimming the surface in looking at these different faiths and may misinterpret a fact or two. Corrections appreciated!
Kicking off the tour this Friday: Zoroastrianism.
