Good post but why isn't it a religion? What does that have to do with scisms? I thought it was a religion and philosophy. Every rasta must follow their own path. InI nah expect to be justify by the laws of man or man, I praise Jah, not the downpressor man. So if you are bull bukka, lemme tell ya this, i'm a duppy conqueror :rasta:

'Rasta, or the Rastafari movement, is a religion that accepts Haile Selassie I, the former Emperor of Ethiopia, as God incarnate, whom they call Jah.'

Rastafari movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think too many people assume white people are just trying to be cool or trying to be a Rasta to smoke weed but that's not how it is at all for me and probably a lot of people. It's what i feel in my heart, true say.

I know InI don't say Rastafarianism.
