Marley wrote a song called I Shot the Sheriff because he was angry a doctor gave his girlfriend birth control pills. He just changed the doctor to a sheriff in the song: "Sheriff John Brown always hated me / For what, I don't know / Every time I plant a seed / He said, 'Kill it before it grow'"
Rastafari are opposed to abortion and birth control.
Ping
He converted to Christianity before he died
Reggae music makes me happy.
Rasta is quasi-Judeo-Christian.
It’s good he moved all the way there.
He also said emancipate your mind from mental slavery addressing the victimology mindset.
The Rasta religion does No believe in birth control. I am not saying I am pro Rasta or anti Rasta but that’s what they believe and follow and I respect that.
Goodto know,
LOL!
Have you ever listened to Buffalo Soldier? It is the essential immigrant story.
Since it regards Haile Selassie (the last emperor of Ethiopia as God incarnate and/or the second coming of Jesus (a claim he disavowed all his life), and that Africa is Zion and everywhere in Western civilization is “Babylon” (including the land of Israel), it’s a highly heretical “quasi” interpretation.
Haile Selassie was an Orthodox Christian, and obviously denied he was devine. He landed his plane in Jamaica in the 60s, but he did not exit amd tell the people he was not God
“I have heard of that idea. I also met certain Rastafarians. I told them clearly that I am a man, that I am mortal, and that I will be replaced by the oncoming generation, and that they should never make a mistake in assuming or pretending that a human being is emanated from a deity.”That is the reply of Selassie to Bill McNeil of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, back in 1967.
I always thought he was vastly overrated.
“He converted to Christianity before he died”
He was catholic for the first 17 years of his life. Then he embraced the Rasta cult. He became Ethiopian Orthodoxy before he died.
Love the music...
