You shouldn't embarrass yourself by swallowing whole things you find on atheist sites. They literally just make up stuff relying on people's ignorance of obscure topics, like Zoroastrianism, Parsis, Mithraism , or whatever they're lying about today.
we find tremendous influences Indo Persian Zoroastrian thought & cosmology
You write things like that while having no knowledge of Zoroastrian cosmology. Did you know Zoroaster is thought to have lived about the time of the prophet Jeremiah? Later than Isaiah. Zoroastrianism and its scriptures aren't actually older than Judaism. The Zororastrian religion was being created about the same time as the later OT prophets. When Alexander the Great conquered the Persian empire, he had almost all the religious writings of the Persians destroyed. Centuries later the Sassanian empire, recreated what they thought were the original teachings of Zoroaster. There are 17 hymns, the Gathas, they THINK (because the Sassanian emporers said so) were written by Zoroaster. That's it. That Zoroastrianism is very obscure, was destroyed and recreated just makes it easy for people to invent stuff and impress low information folks.
The oldest forms of the Torah only date back to this period, of Cyrus conquering Babylon and only later the first assembled books are written by Hellene Jews.
Hellenic Jews had to translate the Bible into Greek, because it had already been written long before. But no, Greek speaking Jews didn't write the Jewish scriptures. If they had they'd be written in Greek, like the NT is. Hellenized, Greek-speaking Jews DID write the NT though. We even know their names.
Heh, you;ll like this ... the supreme Zoroastrian god was called Ahura Mazda. This is proof that Japanese culture is derived from ancient Persia, right? |
