Silly??? Maybe.
This is with no
dis-respect to rasta or anyone.
Example: many who make
their dreads at the salon, or listen to reggae and smoke herb
. Yet when asked about JAH spirit and His will, they fail to
give any reason for their beliefs other than the things listed
above.
I see this where I live and it seems there are
many misconceptions of rasta just as there is with many
christians in "today's world". This should be addressed by the
rasta believers. Many rasta show their "dislike" for certain
Xians yet have no mention of those people who are without any
overstanding of rasta and yet portray to the public that they
are ras tafari followers.
Any
comments? |
Yeah, I can see your point. Why act the part
if you don't believe the things that they stand for?
That
would be kind of like me wearing a priest collar even though I don't
agree with all of the Catholic teachings.
I can see your
point here. I don't think you should act like something that has so
much religious undertones. Again it would be like me wearing the
clothes of an Arabic man, though I am not Muslim. I don't believe
that is right.

Just for the record, there are lots of
non-Muslims Arabs, including many Christians

Yeah, whoops! I messed that up. But you get
the idea. I just meant me or you, deciding that it would be cool to
wear something that is of religous significance.
Good catch!

I
think it depends on the culture. In Canada, where I am from, people
dress how they want.
If you are a Christian in an Arabic
country, you dress like everyone else, you know?
There are
no rules or anything to how you should dress as a Christian. I think
Christians who dress like a rasta do it because they like the
culture, but I think that sometimes they don't know the significance
of what it means to be a rasta. So even though they may not mean
disrespect, disrespect if felt.
Hopefully that made
sense!!!
