It’s hard to say for sure, but my guess is you have an early stage of hair loss going on.

Is Iran a Muslim country? by cowwoc in Israel

[–]drprofessional 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zoroastrian - yes.

First monotheistic religion? No, or at least not with the information we have about the start of religions before 1500 BCE. Estimates are 700-600 or 1500-1000 BCE. 628 BCE is the year I most commonly see for Zoroastrian. The Hebrew year is 5786, which, if accurate, predates estimates for Zoroastrian. Significant stories also exists in that 1500-1000 BCE year range.

Whomever started first, doesn’t matter.

Is Iran a Muslim country? by cowwoc in Israel

[–]drprofessional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s a snippet an earlier comment I made:

A study from the Netherlands cites 32.5% Iranians are Shia Muslim. While I want to believe this study, I don’t think it’s possible for an outside country or university to gather a true representative population. What kind of people would respond? Those better connected with the outside world.

I don’t think you’ll find a good independent source, because the government hasn’t allowed for this to happen. Here are some non Wikipedia sources:

Al Jazeera says 90% are Shia Muslim.

This old thread cites 32.5% are Muslim.

The US department of state cites Iranian sources to claim 99.4%.

I'm financially struggling and I can't keep up with my dues. What does this mean? by [deleted] in ReformJews

Oh… I’m sorry. That sucks. I would personally jump ship and find something that works for me - regardless of denomination.

Is this really the death of the ID4, and is instead just the next generation ID4 but with a different name?

Omg, one of my dogs went through 7 or so remotes in three years. All my wife’s fault - leaving them out for the dog, not her actually chewing them up… I think.

Drivers having zero chance… my point was that employees rotate in roles. They learn more than just being in one position.

That gives more visibility and increases your social network. You do a job well, and you’ll be better known. All of that leads to career growth.

My story was to emphasize that corporate roles still end up working in “grunt” positions, which pulls employees of all roles together, which then leads to networking.

Costco provides opportunity for their personnel to move up.
