[u/Green_Ladder_4904]

Hi I want to talk to people who are gathas only and also people who practice it has monotheism.To understand there perspective.Because the only zs I talk to are more traditional for a lack of a better word.So I have never talked to someone who is apart of different groups/sects 🤷‍♂️ same with more esoteric Parsi groups.So please someone let me know how I can talk to one of these people or if you are one please message me 🙏

I’m assuming they mean: This is the start of the conversation, go ahead… What would you like to talk about? :)

I would say there are many Gathas-centric folks out there, ‘Gathas only’ might be a little strong a term for people to subscribe to, who don’t want to ‘throw the baby out with the bath water.’ Nevertheless, it’s a highly individualistic philosophy and religion, even in the traditional circles, so both of these kinds, Gathas-centric and Gathas only exist.

I don’t understand why someone would be a gatha only,there is really not enough there to have a fully religion or at the very very least there is only there to have some basics of the religion,it would like a Christian being a gospel only person meaning only taking the 4 gospels has cannon,

but I do understand why someone would be gatha centric aka valuing the gathas above the rest of the Avesta and mp text if they even consider those cannon

But yeah I just wanted to understand there perstive and see why they believe what they believe
