rastas, old fashionned?

Ok everybody is talking about rastafaris as a new great religion, but they beleive that Haile Sellassi is a living God....! P..leaz! WHAT A JOKE... Did u know what a DICTATOR he was! ? against his own kind in Ethiopia and the people from erithrea also, he was not so different from the babylom crowd.... An empereror, how can you fight babylon and at the same time worship a dictator/emperor?
I hate babylon very much myself, but a dictator is a dictator....... i don't care about the colour fo his skin

Hallie Selassie was the FIRST African leader to kick out the colonial powers: Mussolini (yeah, that's a good leader for ya), giving the semi educated BAck-to Africa adherants a new lease on faith.
"Mighty G-d is a living man" and woman. Might G-d is in everyone who seeks truth and freedom.

ok, it is really starting to make me sad about your bitterness. if this is just because you got your ass kicked in your other topic please don't take it out on I. All I want is love and overstanding. you don't seem like a happy person, just someone out to prove people wrong. I will pray for you.
However, I rise above this, and will take your testing, oh man, I sure hope I pass, what will YOU think of I then, because it really matters fe I because I really love peace... well, half of that was truth. I only care about what JAH think but I do want peace, I hope in time we can be friends and this bitchy war will be over.
In admittance, I KNOW that I am a child of Jah, I have bowed my head and cried my tears sat at the foot of Yeshwua and Haile Selassie I fe my previous ignorance. and I still think all I know is a tiny drop in the ocean too! but I still can know truth. you are sticking to RasTafarI as if it is a religion, but it's not, RasTaFarI is LIFE!
If you want to reason there are other ways to go about this sort of reasonings and not so brutally.
I will answer ALL your other questions on your other topic.
Peace and much love, xx

ok I can't reply... the thread is closed, which means I can't look back to all your questions. but nevermind, I don't need to prove anything to do. If you judge I that is your choice, but it may make you a hypocrite just like the Ible preaches against.

the only reason i said this is because i read this

seems like you got upset in my thred because i said something similar to this ( more or less stating that some people on here sound like they don't know a lot about rasta but talk about it like they know everything), now that I called you out on saying something along the lines of the same thing you are mad at me for pointing it out?

[heru]

i just dont get it - why would you choose selassie over jesus - i always thought it was a racist thing like they wanted a black king but selassie taught christanity-they totally dont listen to selassies teaching or christs-so they diss them both

[FunkyPhreshMama]

listen....the H.I.M. was not rasta, and that he did not want to be worshiped was a fruther pillar in their belief, because the living god and messiah was humble...and it's not a what do you choose...it's what belief the individual can identify with, and some people identifiy with the struggle and oppression more then they can with the uber rich appereance of say the catholic church...don't get me wrong, i dont think that any of us can identifiy with say, living at back-o-wall, or shanty town...but, it all boils down to what you belief, and please, don't attack us for what we belief to be true, because i wouldn't do that to you!

kayy there are somethings you need to learn about HIS Majesty. Haile Selassie I is a being who should be respected/feared/loved.

May JAH bless you

'feared/loved' is nonsense.
