Zoroastrianism the oldest religion of the world was found by prophet zarathustra in 559 bc to 330. The holly book of zoroastrian"s is called avesta (iyer, 2009). Those who follow the god in this religious have three main goals of good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. They believe that the world will be destroyed by fire and that the world will be purified and once it is renewed the death will rise. The hell doors will open and the souls will rise and be purified so people will live together in ahura mazda"s world (hartz, 2009). Zoroastrianism is one of the first religions that gives dimension to what happens after life. The prayers and ceremonies in front of fire is worship of zoroastrian"s. Followers of this religion do not believe in destiny or rebirth instead they do think that those who did good will go to heaven and those who did bad to hell.
