Zoroaster claimed that Ahura Mazda had given him the clarity of vision to determine the path between Truth and Falsehood, and those who found themselves on the wrong side of his determination could expect no accommodation. All opponents were evil incarnate. In a disturbing passage, Zoroaster expresses his hardline policy, stating that each person “should show kindness to the follower of Truth, but should be evil to the follower of the Lie,” for the man “who is most good to the follower of the Lie is himself a follower of the Lie.”
Zoroaster . Good and evil
