Parsi dhongidox

If anyone can at all make sense of this so-called Ervad’s chaotic rant regarding mistakes, blames and accusations of some unfortunates, it must be that this character has lost direction and more besides ("Parsi dhongidox,” Readers’ Forum, Parsiana, July 21, 2005).

In emptily mouthing stock terms like "tenets, precepts, scriptures, doctrines, and time-honored customs and traditions of the noble Parsi Zoroastrian religion…” he has conclusively shown that he is acquainted with none of these, and instead has subscribed to rabid racist concepts wholly absent from Zoroastria-nism as universally recognized. Was he never made aware of the basic Zoroas-trian norms of good thoughts, words and works?

Now that he has declared his true nature, will he tell us "unfortunates” the secret of successful marriage and stable family arrangements? We simply cannot wait to be enlightened and be made further aware of the real extent of our "misfortune?”
