paragraph_text: Zoroastrianism
  
  In the originally Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, the world is a battle ground between the God Ahura Mazda (also called Ormazd) and the malignant spirit Angra Mainyu (also called Ahriman). The final resolution of the struggle between good and evil was supposed to occur on a D ay of Judgement, in which all beings that have lived will be led across a bridge of fire, and those who are evil will be cast down forever. In Afghan belief, angels (yazata) and saints are beings sent to help us achieve the path towards goodness.
