One thing I love about Rastafari is what a giant hermeneutical "Fuck You!" it it to ALL mainstream Christian denominations. Christians just can't deal with ganja smoking, natty dread sporting, poor, country Bible-thumping Biblicists telling THEM how to read their Bibles.

Indeed! Love this album, love the cover. It's one of those that non-specialist would pass over as it looks so simple.

Agree. Rasta makes so much more sense once you visit the island. You can see it's roots, that's is just one more JA offshoot in a deeply, deeply Pentecostal culture.

. . mythologically speaking, UNLIKE the failed, executed faith-healing Galilean exorcist who had no tangible EARTHLY throne/kingdom with political power and arms. Selassie didn't have to have wait 20 years after his death to get a mention, 40 years to get a bio.

Selassie I.

How dare you quote Rev 19:16 to me, telling me "He has a name written on his clothing and on his thigh: “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.”?

YET, Rasta can AT LEAST say that their god 100% walked this earth IN history and ACTUALLY sat on a Davidic throne via Solomon . .

Thanks! Would post more often here but too busy on X arguing about religion, but that's just what these Christo-Fascist times are calling for.
