"We see Rastafari as a liberation religion."
- Bob Marley Documentary
Wait, what's this? Liberation and religion in the same sentence? Do you notice how the word religion can leave such a repressed taste in peoples mouth, yet the rastafari found their religion liberating. Did you know that the Rastafari read scriptures and often quoted from them? We tend to listen to wisdom when the "right" person speaks it. When someone influential like Bob Marley sings words from scriptures in his songs, people cherish the lyrics. Sadly, so many are disillusioned by wisdom because of a handful of hateful fundamentalists, that are not of God. What is my point? Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
