(12,160 posts)since Iranis are froze out completely. My wife's cousin's husband is a Zoroastrian. They have lived in California for years. I don't think they should leave the country even the cousin who is Methodist, they might not be allowed bake in. What an evil 'Rump voters have unleashed upon the nation and the world.

(12,685 posts)You're worse than a Mooselamb or even some other Pagan type to those people - because you don't believe and can't be converted to the right way of worshipping.
