It makes more sense than Abrahamic monotheism.
You can believe in God without the problem of evil. Note, this article gets kind of complex with its argumentation, so I recommend reading it.

Yes, but you can also solve this by an amoral entity at the heart of reality. This is how many forms of polytheism resolved this, they called this entity fate, and even the gods didn’t know about this entity, and were subjected to it.

Yeah, that would explain why the sect Zurvanism emerged (i.e., Zurvan is neutral infinite time). It is one way to resolve it, but another way is via Orthodox Zoroastrianism with an ontological dualism where an uncreated good God is delimited by what is logically possible and the uncreated evil spirit is real but does not independently exist (i.e., it can only corrupt the good).

True, I read about Zurvan in The Other God by Yuri something something, though it wasn’t mentioned in Zoroastrianism: An Introduction by Jenny Rose. Those are my go to sources on Zoroastrianism, I don’t know whether they’re good ones by the way, but I can recommend them

Bless you based zurvanon. I can't wait to read your magnum opus, when you've finally formalized Zoroastrian dualism and btfo monistcucks don't forget where you came from

Yeah, and then to take on both the Sh*as and the S*nnis, and restore the glorious name of Khosrow II

Modern-day Iranians are too low-IQ and mongrelized to accomplish something that glorious. There are only a few intellectuals like me.
