I'm a lukewarm Catholic Christian re-vert, and a White guy from Detroit, and I love Rastafari! I support any bredrin & sistren of mine having 100% autonomy and liberty to follow anything they chose, but I've studied Rastafari for many years and I believe it's a very honest, loving, fair & just spiritual path and manner of worshipping God. Jah Rastafari to all my extended family around the globe!!

[@21darkster]

I'm a devout Roman Catholic and I have nothing but respect for the Rastafarian Religion. I really hope it keep spreading and bringing people to Jah (God).

I’m also a Christian and from my limited awareness of Rasta find many parallels between their way of life and ours. In fact they would appear to have a more peaceful and loving existence towards fellow man than many (so called) Christians even. Reflecting in my view, Jesus teachings vs Pharisees.

[@backpackdirector]

+CaapriceTube Thanks Caaprice. Tdoooot (and brampton...haha). I finished this in 2005 and started distributing dvd's. Around the same time it started being bootlegged by one of the people in the doc

[@CaapriceTube1]

rastamentary Oh nice, you were the director behind it?? Cool, yea I knew it was around '05 I remember watching it on OMNI tv back in da day. And lol, yea dat DVD grind was big a decade ago, haha like the real toronto dvd's LOL. But now we have social media!!! :)

+CaapriceTube yea, I shot and edited it. don't think it was ever on TV, unless that bootlegger was high level

[@CaapriceTube1]

First Step Plus Inc. is looking for Rastafarians.. Rasta grant writers, farmers,book keepers,mentors,musicians, teachers,poets, elders...and any Rasta with skills that they can share to enrich and repair ... I have come to the realization that to build this 501 c3 nonprofit to it's fullest potential then we must have a team of people who are like minded with one goal and one purpose and that is to eradicate hunger, eradicate homeless,bring about change and hope in a world that offers neither. On this mission it is essential that we teach the things necessary for the survival of Rastafari, Livity and love..we must not be consumed by the media and the politics that label our youth as corrupt misfits when we know that our destruction is systematic.. I had been looking for Babylon to assist in relief from a Babylonian system, and i have met with much opposition to the point of frustration yet i remain ever focused and ever up to the task before me. If you are willing to embark on a blessed mission that will lead us to Ethiopia's door then First Step Plus Inc. needs you.. Please contact me Lataisha Anderson @ [e-mail] Rastafari guidance and Blessings..

[@patriciaribaric3409]

Does any Rastafarian have an opinion about the geographical splitting of the earth in Ethiopia? I saw in a documentary that two continental plates in Ethiopia are moving apart where the land is deep below sea level. When I seen it I wondered if it was God creating a new Eden. Now as I am learning about where Rastafarian's belief originated that scene again came to my mind. I also want to thank the person responsible for bringing this info to you tube. I always think of the words "seek and ye shall find." I appreciate the enlightenment. I would like to know more about Rastafarian women. Religion oppresses women; does Rasta set them free?

[@lovejudahsoundsystem3358]

Yes woman are equal to rasta King and queen in oneness

[@MrNastydread]

please, if possible where can I fine a house of rasta in NYC?

[@thomashumphrey7395]

I am a 53-year-old white rasta whose title and King adopted name is rasthomas. For any and all who think Rastafari must be black or Jamaican, I would reason and put forth that Rasta is a calling of the heart to a higher consciousness, and not merely an ethnic, national, or political movement. Rastafari are born, not converted. All rasta are unique and special but alike in that they felt a calling to the Livity. I and I by its very nature is not discriminatory or exclusive. True Rastafari know and feel it as much or more than think it. Bless.

[@lunulamoon]

One of the things about Rastafarianism is about black empowerment. Ya'll can't let us have ONE thing. So yes Rastafari can only be black. Cry about it

[@thomashumphrey7395]

@@lunulamoon You don't have a clue, bro. Almost all notable rastas (including Bob Marley) have said that anybody can be a rasta based on belief and living the Livity. Black, White, Chinese, Mexican, male, female, whatever, if you are truly Rasta, you feel it more think it. Quit thinking that you have to own it and it's not for anyone but Blacks. There are so few Rastafari to begin with (by estimates about one million worldwide) and since we are all brethren and humans, we should be glad in this crazy world today to have as many as we can. Read your history, man.

[@classiql]

Is there precedent other than the bible that the Rastafari derives his knowledge?

[@RasKalevthesouljourner]

Nature, etymology, sound, geometry, archaeology, biology, science, mathematics, rhythm & music. Rastafari is the sum of all truth, God. Sight to see what modern science, archaeology, astronomy, technology is all confirming what we already knew.

[@martinandrewsmusic]

This is a question for any rastas reading this...Love and peace to you all........... I want to be a rastafarian but i dont feel worthy to be a rastafarian because I am a white christian..........I believe that haile selassie is the returned messiah! . After much research into you beautiful culture i have come to the conclusion that Rastafarianism is a religion not of race but of unity, quality, peace and love. I honestly believe color does not matter, people should look past color and within the person. when bob marley was asked by a white man if he needed to be black to be a rasta bob said " do you have a choice, come as god sent you" I have been a true follower of the almighty and have given my life to him for years and now i see he has come back as the imperial majesty. can I be a Rastafarian ?? i dont mean to offend i want honest answers only please. peace

[@Robel0]

+martin andrews You don't need anyones approval to be rasta. Rasta is in the heart, dread or no dread. Rasta is not a religion, it is a natural and righteous way of life, a livity Rasta fight against isms and schims and the illuminati babylon system which is the vampire. H.I.M say that "Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans which were supposed to help people grow spiritually. Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High." Rastafari is based on the principles that all mankind are equal. We are all rasta even if we do not realize it. The revelation of Jesus Christ through Haile Selassie I gives great hope to mankind. If we come together in love and unity we will conquer evil and the babylon system will fall. Zion will rule with love not power. One love.
