But why whims and fancies? Where do you think the first Zoroastrians came from, anyway, fall out of heaven? The converted from whatever religion they were following at the time. No, I am not talking about those entering through any whim or fancy, but those that are sincerely, that are willing to get education in the religion. THESE PEOPLE should be allowed in. Also why the double standard when it comes to women? When a Parsi man marries outside the faith, his children are embraced, but when a Parsi women does likewise, not only are her children not accepted but often she is ostracized as well! You see, Eruch deekra, it is not about numbers, but about FAITH, about encouraging the faith, and about equality. Of course, if you wish to leave, then please do so. You will find other communities ready to accept you, something that you were not willing to do for those wishing to enter our faith. And one last note, I would say that 99% of Parsi culture is already borrowed from Hinduism. Thank you Eruch. But why whims and fancies?

Those who state that we don't need converts should look at our dwindling numbers. We are dying out. It is that simple. And why shouldn't those that sincerely want to embrace the religion not be allowed to do so? I am glad for the new temple. May many more like it arise! Congrads on an excellent article.
