Well, it is where the idea of Purgatory came from. And it'd be kind of silly for a 'brew to look up Zoroastrianism if they want to find info on their religion. D:

Just good luck finding any Zoros out there. xD

o-o Purgatory is Catholicism, not Judaism. Or, at least I don't think Judaism has a belief of Purgatory. I know Catholocism does, but I don't know about Judaism, in all honesty I don't think I understand exactly what it is they believe about the afterlife even after reading their link. x-x

Nice find, btw, monkey.

Perhaps, I don't really know either. I do know that Zoro influenced many beliefs and changes in doctrine for the religions in the area. They did supposedly inspire the angelology and demonology of Judeo-Christian belief, as well.

They do, seeing as catholocism almost mirrors judism in both there faith(both, majorities, are extremely devoted to there religion, to the point that outsiders are seen as evil) and strictness(by that i mean in both ancient, catholics and jew, governments had a death sentance for not following the text correctly).

I read somewhere in the old testament about purgatory so maybe it was there, or maybe it's just a bad translation.
