| Halie Selassie |
• Former emperor of Ethiopia, crowned in 1930 and died in 1975. Reined for 45 years.
• This is not his real name but he took this name which means the power of the trinity. He also took names like: king of kings, lord of lords, the conquering lion of Judah. His actual name is Ras Tafari Maconan.
• Always decked out with many medals.
• He claimed to be 225th in a line of Ethiopian Kings descending from a union between Solomon and the queen of Sheba. He actual said that Psalm 87:4-6 predicted his coronation. It says:
Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush-- "This one was born there," they say. And of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her"; for the Most High himself will establish her. The LORD records as he registers the peoples, "This one was born there." Selah
(Psa 87:4-6)
• Now there are over 1 million people that worship him as god.
• He is believed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.
• His worshipers are called Rastafarian’s.
• Rastafarians only believe in the King James version of the bible.
• If you are in the religion then you must have a personal relationship with Ras Tafari.
• They say he never died and he is coming back on the day of judgment to Africa.
• They only believe ½ the Bible has been written the other half was stolen from Africans by white people and is now hidden in the Ark of the Covenant.
• They believe that devout believers will not physically die.
• They believe that Ras Tafari is god the father and god the son and his followers are the holy spirit.• During a Rastafarian service the worshipers smoke maharaja, singing, dancing, reading the bible and listening to their greatest prophet, Bob Marley.
• Dreadlocks are also associated with Reggae and Rastafarianism and they are the idea of going back to nature by never taking care of your hair, which is a play on the Nazarite vow.
This is a satanic religion that worships a dead Ethiopian that is now in Hell.

The last sentence says it all!
I'm laughing hard as i'm reading this. Your Note or article is heavily misinformed. A deep obsession with discrediting Rastafari renders intolerable bias then a lame reading piece . the world is much mysterious than you prefer it be. Rastafari has legitimate claim to much of the histort as they allude. You cling to that secular christians' attitude to the world...where its' the only right religion. You have lost even a sense of awe and wonder on how much more of G-d we still stand to discover. Learn more, you don't come though as a sharp fellow.
