You keep talking about us.........
I have no problem producing facts, I don't waste my time when it does no good.
I'm sure that you have seen me respond to personal attacks like you have displayed. I have no problem taking care of my own business.

Well if that is your response sunmatrix the simple answer is if you don't have to prove your claims then we don't have to accept them and your
opinion is generally considered worthless.
We.......no you. Stand on your own feet and quit crying for support.

Hinduism can be traced back to 5,500 BCE. Zarathustraism only originated about 560BCE. We know this because Zoroaster personally converted King
Smerdis, father of Daruis the Great.
Hinduism can only be proven to around 1500 BC.
Experts agree that the oldest organized religion is Hinduism, which dates back to 1,500 BCE, when the Vedas, the sacred texts of Hinduism, were
written. Hinduism as a religion has no known creator, as it was put together from a variety of traditional beliefs from different cultures and
mythologies. It is now the third largest religion in the world.Text

Hinduism differs from Christianity and other Western religions in that it does not have a single founder, a specific theological system, a single
system of morality, or a central religious organization. It consists of "thousands of different religious groups that have evolved in India since
1500 BCE."

You seem to be confusing the Iranian prophet Zoroaster to the original Zoroaster. We get varying dates for Zoroaster because there are traces of his
teaching everywhere.........including Egypt.
Though it is possible Zoroaster lived sometime between the 13th and 11th centuries B.C., before Iranian tribes settled in the central and western
areas of the Iranian Plateau, it is just as likely for him to have lived in a rural society during the centuries immediately after the Iranian
migration. Therefore, though the historical estimate is consistent with the linguistic one, it is just as vague; Gherardo Gnoli gives a date near 1000
B.C.
Archaeological evidence
Archaeological evidence is usually inconclusive regarding questions of religion. However, a Russian archaeologist, Viktor Sarianidi, links Zoroaster
to circa 2000 B.C. based upon excavations of the BMAC (Asgarov, 1984).
Indo-Iranian religion is generally accepted to have begun in the late 3rd millennium B.C. (e.g., the Soma cult), but Zoroaster himself already looked
back on a long religious tradition. The Yaz culture (circa 1500-1100 B.C.) in the Afghan-Turkmen-Iranian border area is considered a likely staging
ground for the development of East Iranian and early Zoroastrian practices.

Hinduism was not influenced by Zoroaster. Hinduism holds that all life is influenced by natural forces. Zoroaster held that life was influenced by
forces of good and evil. The two faiths are diametrically opposed and share little in common and certainly nothing fundamental which links their
mythology.
See again...........linked in prior post.
Hinduism and Zoroastrianism are the two of the oldest surviving religions and derive from a common origin.
Common origin
Main article: Proto-Indo-Iranian religion
Both Zoroastrianism and Vedic religion are of Indo-Iranian origin, that is, are developments of cultures that have common roots. The oldest sacred
texts of both religions have a similar grammar, structure and style, and indeed share words and phrases. The language of the Gathas (the oldest hymns
of the Zoroastrian collection of texts known as the Avesta) and the language of the RigVeda are similar to the point that many translations of Gathic
Avestan were made by scholars of Vedic Sanskrit.

As before, I suggest that you reread the prior discussion and U2U that you sent and see which one of us started running their mouth. Face the facts
and the truth.....if you can.

You're right........it is based on the Epic of Gilgamesh who is Nimrod of Babylon. And also sorry..........no Christmas tree for me, I know it's
origin.

As before, contrary to popular belief, Gnostics are not Christians even if someone calls them Gnostic Christians. You might find the Gnostics in
Masonism with the 'G' in the middle of their symbol.
