Why does every religion view pursuit of wealth and hedonism as bad?
>>17272493Because they want to keep the plebs down and horde the wealth for themselves. Have you see the Catholic Church over the the last thousand years?
>>17272493BrehThe foundation of Judaism is wealth accumulation and the enslavement of other races so they can live a life of oppulance devoid of any obligation to objective morality and all other modern western religions are satanic and pay lio service to the teachings of Jesus while living a life based in anti nature materialism.
>>17272493Pursuit of wealth is not inherently evil in Zoroastrianism
>>17272731Which is the weakness the Jews exploited to implode the Achaemenid empire and why they used Zoroastrianism as the foundation for modern Christianity...it took them less than 300 years after Christ to obliterate the pesky aspects of Christ teaching like usuary is bad and you don't need organized religion to find God.
>>17272493Money matters but it's not the most important thingSex matters but it's not the most important thingI think that's what some of them are implying
>>17272493Its about loving something more then God.
>>17272493You are a person who is able to change yourself, you can become different, even if some aspects are much harder to transform. If there is a "you" that is not your body, which continues on after this life, and you can't perfectly predict what is on the other side of death, what should you turn yourself into? And if there is a larger reality beyond this world, what kind of entity would create the conditions for it, and what would be most sensible to it?All of these should lead you to go "I can't bring my car with me into the afterlife, I can't bring my body, I can only bring my identity, and so I should try to find a universal identity which can belong everywhere. I should treat this life and this planet as a level in a video game."
>>17272731Is also isn't inherently evil in Shinto, Thelema, Wicca or sikhism
>>17272493Norse paganism prizes the pursuit of wealth.It also encourages you to put a lot of effort into courting a woman and marrying her. It doesn't encourage hedonism to the extent that it says adultery and homosexuality are damnable sins, but it doesn't seem to care if you get freaky within the confines of marriage.
>>17272493Because we all day. We cannot take it beyond and it distracts and poisons the heart of men for many.
>>17273242Kirat karo is a corresponding concept in Sikhism.
>>17272493
>>17272797Trying reading a book instead of relying on memes, faggot.
>>17273707>Those endless memes of Zoroastrianism I love that your totally incapable of making a counter argument and this is the best you could come up with.I expect nothing but more trite nonsense if you respond at all.
>>17272661Give me your cash then?
>>17273722Zoroastrian culture during the Sassanian empire had more in common with Islamic legalist barbaric autism: * Sharia law has basis in Vendidad purity laws, even barbaric punishments like beheading. Look up Barashnûm* Praying 5 times a day comes from Zoroastrianism * Apostasy laws comes from Zoroastrians* Ritual ablutions come from Persians However, metaphysically, Zoroastrianism has little in common with Christianity or Islam because it was autistically dualistic.
>>17273815*Concept of heaven and hellZoroastrianism *Concept of the holy Spirit Zoroastrianism *Virgin birth of the Messiah Zoroastrianism *Monotheism Zoroastrianism *Guardian angelsZoroastrianism *Doing good deeds to go to heaven Zoroastrianism Dualism is the battle between good and evil and is a core tenant of Christianity, dude.It seems you understand neither Christianity or Zoroastrianism.Read a book.
>>17273757Christians love giving Israel money
>>17273815>* Praying 5 times a day comes from Zoroastrianism>* Apostasy laws comes from ZoroastriansOh no how terrible I'm sure Christian institutions opposed such evil mean acts throughout history
Because they are stupid. Humanity is stupid. It is really that simple.
>>17273872Zoroastrianism was ditheist as evident from Mardanfarrokh's Doubt Removing Book, you stupid POS. It was not monotheistic.Spenta Mainyu is not equivalent to Christian Holy Spirit. Latter saves by grace whereas form is a qualitative potentiality embodied by the mind.Christianity is explicitly anti-dualism, read St. Thomas Aquinas' argument for the Good.You are retarded garbage.
>>17272493Desire is the root of all evil, people like schopenhauer and sartre in the west saw this, that's the same thing eastern religions teach. I think that's the main problem internal stability begins inside you and even if there's really a you is debatable, after that then you can pursuit whatever the fuck you want, but people who really understand this stop "pursuing" anything
