Wasn't the story of Adam and Eve originally a Zoroastrian story?
1. Do Zoroastrians have any special dietary rules?
e.g. like Buddhist are often vegetarians because of the commitment to non-violence, Muslims on not eating Pork, etc.
2. What is Zoroastrianism position on violence? Are you pacifists or do you have certain sects which are?
3. Any generic views on sex and sexual orientation?
4. Do Zoroastrians view Atheism as sinful (as happens in Fundamentalist interpretations of the Abrahamic traditions)?
Are Zoroastrian beliefs the correct beliefs, and all others thus incorrect?
The texts don't promote any kind of 'Religious warfare'.
3. The Parsis do, but others don't. I think this has been greatly influenced by culture, though. What is primary is 'Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.' In essence, if it doesn't hurt anyone or yourself, there shouldn't be a problem with it. But as I say, these things have been influence by culture though (as far as I know) not mentioned in the texts themselves. I might get back to you on this

I believed that many Zoroastrians believed Ahriman to be a physical, bona fide opponent of Ahura Mazda -- often as the evil... 'twin brother', almost, equal in power, and so there would be some kind of war between the two.VIII: No literal Satan figure. We have Angra Mainyu/Ahriman, but this is literally 'bad mind' and can mean bad thoughts we as humans have that we need to overcome, because thoughts lead to actions and we take responsibility for all we do.

Is this just a subset of some Zoroastrians, or something?
