ive been looking up tons because the whole concept makes sense to me
love for all people, the world, and yourself intrigues and has always been my way of living but i want some information from real rastafaris around totse about the faith
notice how i neglect the word religion

If I remember correctly, it's also quite racist...

^ Not really. Some adopted a black supremacist view as a response to the oppression blacks where facing, but Jah denounced racism.

Fair enough.

Yeah, most Rastas abandoned racist beliefs after Haile Selassie I spoke strongly against racism of all kinds in the UN. The vast majority should be accepting of al races, although obviously their are a lot of imperfect Rastas out there just like every religious group.

OP, I couldn't agree more. I often practise an essential Rastafari ritual.

If you are thinking about rastifari beliefs on the sole fact that they smoke a lot of bud I dont think you will last long. I got into it for that sole reason and my interest only lasted about 6 months.

They believe some random king is God. I'm a little wary.
