The real anguish, perhaps, lies in witnessing the decline of an ancient fire-worshipping tradition and the prospect of its eventual extinction—a worldview whose rituals and beliefs may seem deeply disconnected from modern rational thought.
Its historical decline, cultural significance, and the question of whether its beliefs are nonsensical, are separate matters. A tradition can lose followers without its entire history or cultural legacy becoming meaningless, but some are hell bent upon escalating the inevitable.
All religions who get empowered by the State or Clergy face similar challenges. It's a natural thing and elements of messianism are placed to counter such theories of eternal decline and plunge into the abyss.
Its quite interesting how Year Zero is perceived in different cultures and traditions.
